He
cajoled her to be off from it as he intended to kill it instantly
for food. She grew adamant. When his pleadings did not bear fruit,
he descended to the nefarious course of cheating her with his sweet
tongue. The innocent slept when he promised her not to touch it
even. Alas! on waking up the child was given beef for breakfast. She
could neither swallow it nor forgive her father. She died.
This
shocked him, and he grew remorse, why turned mad. But slowly he
changed when the turned god wards for relief. That transformation
reached climax, when the MOTHER Sakti appeared and informed him that
she was the very same cow responsible for his daughter's death. She
informed that his cow-shed where she was tethered would soon become
a pilgrimage centre. Elated at the fortune he embarked upon making
the place fit for her stay. During the excavation of the shed, he
found the idols of Devi and Vishnu.
His
exultation ended in instant installation of them in a temple and it
became very famous, in a very short period. He officiated as priest
till his death. Not only he was benefited by the MOTHER, but he
became instrumental in changing the lives of victim of evil forces.
After his death, due to lack of proper administration, with regard
to conduct of pujas and maintenance, it once again joined the dust
from where it emerged. The place too was deserted.
