In the Arya Samaj school, on being asked the 'Varna', he answered – 'Vaishya'.

The teacher put down his name as 'Vishnu Gupta'.

When he joined government service, the officers changed his name to 'Vishnu Dharmadutt' because there were many 'Guptas' in the office and it confused the officers.

He continued writing by the pen name of 'Vishnu'.

Once an editor asked, "Why do you use such a short name? Have you passed any examination?"

Vishnu answered that he had passed 'Prabhakar' examination in Hindi.
