CHILLAN/CHANDAN TALAWADI (LAKE)
L
Chetan ! Just near Ajit-Shanti temple, we come across Chillan Lake. This is a tunk reservoir cut in rocks. The history behind it says that, in the Shashan of Lord Adinath (some say in the Shashan of Sudharma Swami), Chillan Muni with whole sangh arrived here. In joy, people started mounting through different ways. Comming here, thirst empowered them. Chillan Muni did a miracle and there was a tank full of water before them. By drinking its water, they quenched their thirst and hence, people named it "Chillan Talawadi”. In due course of time, it changed to "Chandan Talawadi”. Doing Iriya Vahi (begging for pardon), Muni got Kevalgyan and achieved salvation. Bharat Chakri had built a monument named Chillan Vihar, but as the time passed, it was destroyed.
IDOL OF DIAMOND
Chetan ! Move your eyes at far right and see the tree of Kotha (Wood apple). Near it, it is said, there is a cave which contains a diamond idol of Lord Adinath (size 500 Dhanushya) prepared by Bharat Chakravarti. It was later placed in this cave by Sagar Chakravarti. One who does Attham Tap (three days fast) over here, and if he is fortunate, Kapardi diety shows it to him. If he is fortunate to see it, he is definate to achieve salvation in his future third birth as described in 'Shatrunjaya Kalpavriti Granth'. In this fifth era, king Nandraj, king Virraj and Pandit Dev Vimal Gani who was pupil of Devsundarsuriji did this penance and were lucky to see this idol. Let us say with respect “Namo Jinanam".
Chetan ! Near Chandan Lake, there is Siddhashila.
