She said that [[Swayamprabhasuri]] could not go beyond [[Bhinmal|Śrīmal]] and [[Porwal|Padmavati]]. He agreed to her and started moving towards [[Rajasthan]] with his 500 disciples. Upon reaching, he and his disciples started a month-long penance on a small hill just outside the town. When it was time to break the fast, his disciples entered the town to beg for alms. They could not find food &#039;[[Ācārāṅga Sūtra|free from 42 faults]]&#039; as all residents of the town worshipped [[Chamunda]], performed [[Animal sacrifice in Hinduism|animal sacrifice]], and consumed food unfit for Jain monks. In such situation, it was getting difficult for monks to survive and Ratnaprabhasuri ordered all his disciples to begin moving to another city.&amp;lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Maharaja |first=Gyansundar |title=Oswal Porwal Aur Shreemal Jatiyo Ka Sachitra Prachin Itihas |url=https://jainqq.org/explore/034569/15 |access-date=2024-06-13 |website=jainqq.org}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&quot;:10&quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book |last=Hooja |first=Rima |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tosMAQAAMAAJ&amp;amp;q=ratnaprabha+suri |title=A History of Rajasthan |date=2006 |publisher=Rupa &amp;amp; Company |isbn=978-81-291-0890-6 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

The residents of the town asked Ratnaprabhasuri about an icon to consecrate. He knew that [[Chamunda]] was preparing one using sand and the milk of a cow, so he asked the residents to keep patience. According to scriptural and local legends, one day, the cowherd saw his cow discharging milk at a part in the village. He informed Minister Uhada and the latter dug the land there.
