The tribesman loved his daughter so much that he gave her the calf. After a few days he saw his daughter lying dead from poison. He later decided to cremate her body and when he went to find her body it had vanished. A priest told him that it was his punishment for taking young calves from their mothers and sacrificing them.

As he went to look for the calf he found two stones instead. He installed the two divine stones who are believed to be Maha Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu. Years later he stones were forgotten and were accidentally found by a grass-cutter who wanted to sharpen her knife before cutting and started sharpening the blades on a stone.

Suddenly she saw that the stones were bleeding and called the attention of the people. The stones were then properly installed in a temple.
