It is said that Vinjal Vajo, chief of Patan Somnath, was a great friend of Mandalika. Vinjal was attacked by leprosy and consequently resolved to make a pilgrimage to Banaras, and failing to be cured there to perish in the snows of Kailash. The Brahmans, however, told him that before doing this he must first make a pilgrimage to Girnar. Vinjal was anxious to avoid doing this as his friend Mandalika would see him in his diseased state. But as the Brahmans insisted that it was necessary for him to visit Girnar, he went secretly there and bathed at the Damodar Kund and bestowed a small gold image of an elephant on the Brahmans in charity. After his departure, a quarrel arose among the Brahmans as to a division of the gold and the question was referred to the Mandalika who at once asked who gave the gold elephant. On hearing that it was Vinjal Vajo, he set out after him. When he reached the stream, now called Gangajalio, between Vadal and Kathrota, he there met a man bearing his daily supply of water of Ganga river which was sent to him each day. In his anxiety to overtake Vinjal, he bathed with his clothes on i.e. simply poured the water over himself, clothes and all, and went on to Jetalsar where he found Vinjal Vajo encamped. Vinjal begged him not to approach him as he had the loathsome disease of leprosy. But Mandalika would not be denied and advanced and embraced him and immediately Vinjal's leprosy was cleansed. From this circumstance, the stream where Mandalika met the carrier of water of Ganga has been ever since called the Gangajalio and Ra Mandalika also is called by epithet, Ra Gangajalio.
