• The next day Karkandu Raja of Angdesh, came in this forest for Prabhu darshan but Bhagwan’s Vihar has already happened.
• He praised Elephant’s good fortune and also felt guilty for his ownself.
• for his happiness a dev encraved a beautiful Pratima which is known as Kalikund Parshwanath (Kali means Mountain and Kund means Lotus Lake).
