Nag Kumar and Sagar Son's Story
King Sagar had sixty thousand sons who went to Mount
Ashtapad and prayed to all 24 Tirthankars. In order to protect the temple, they dug a big trench all around the
mountain that disturbed the King of serpents who lived there. Nag Kumar Dev was very angry, but when the Princes
apologized to Nag Kumar he pardoned them & went away. The princes thought the trench will be filled up over the period, so they decided to fill it up with
holy water from the Ganges & disturbed Nag Kumar Dev again, so he came out & burned all 60,000 princes to ashes.
