In order to test the eligibility of the people of the ashram who asked him to accept them as his devotee, Dattathrya plunged in to the waters of a lake and disappeared. The devotees waited around the lake for hundred years meditating in order to get wonderful powers.
At the end of the waiting for hundred years, Swami appeared over the water with a bowl full of liquor in one hand and a beautiful lady on the other. in order to test the devotees, Swami was chatting, dancing, flirting, singing, drinking, and smoking with the girl. The rishis who saw this thought that Swami has deviated from morals and left him. Some rishis remaining said that some have left without understanding that he was actually acting and they requested him to guide them. Hearing their request, Swami took them all to the ashram as followers and disciples(sishyas).
