The King offended her and incurred her wrath as a result of which he became a leper. After the king's penance, the Lord was pleased and a voice was heard from heaven that his image in stone would be found at the seashore. When the image was installed the king would be free from leprosy. Following this king Digva discovered the Lord's image in stone and installed here.
