In Mithila’s Bhagait tradition, Bhakt Hariyā is remembered as the epitome of devotion and surrender to Dharmaraj Baba. The most poignant episode tells of Dharmaraj testing him in the harshest way—by demanding the sacrifice of his own child. Torn between love as a father and loyalty as a devotee, Hariyā placed his faith above everything else. With unwavering resolve, he prepared to obey. At that moment, Dharmaraj revealed himself, restored the child to life, and blessed Hariyā and Hariniyā for their unshakable bhakti. This tale is sung in Bhagait ballads as a reminder that true faith requires the ultimate sacrifice, and that divine grace always protects those who surrender completely.
