From Ujjayini Acharya Siddhasen proceeded to Chitrakoot. When he saw an ancient pillar in a hall, he said
EMPEROR VIKRAMADITYA
Yes! This ancient pillar was constructed with some special herbs. It is said that there are rare manuscripts
in this pillar.
O king! We Nirgranth Shramans completely renounce all mundane things including wealth. What we expect is devotion notwealth.
Vikramaditya was highly impressed at these words. He said
Your detachment is exceptional. Please use this wealth for spread of religion
After discussing religion for some time. Vikramaditya rode the elephant and left.
Acharyashri was an expert of mantra and tantra. He made a special powder and applied it on the pillar with chanting of some mantra.
