KING KUMARPAL AND HEM-CHANDRACHARYA In the temple a grand image of Bhagavan Ajitnath was installed. The king said
KORK
As this temple was inspired by the memory of a mouse (mushika) let it be called Mushika
Vihar.
Near Taranga the Mushika Vihar exists even today.
One day the king said to Acharyashri
Gurudev, I met Yes, king! Strange you at Khambhat and were those days! you compassionately
saved my life.
It is my desire to construct a grand temple in memory of
those days.
Indeed, you should at once start acting on
your plan.
The king gave orders to minister Vagbhat- I want to get
a grand temple constructed in Aling
colony in Khambhat.
He was the son of minister Udayan.
