| Birth And Marriage  | After Marriage | Tap in Jungle | Return from jungle | On earth |

Mrityulok (The Earth):-

It was hard to go on earth in her original form. So she had to find some other alternative. Hence Mataji took the form of child and sat under a tree without making any sort of noise like a dumb. That was the time of famine in Gujarat and Saurashtra. So the shepherds of Maldhari (a tribe) were roaming here and there for fodder  to serve there cattle. One of the shepherds saw that child under the tree. He went to that child and asked her who was she? And why she was alone in jungle? Who kept her there? Mataji didn’t spoke anything but answered by making expressions that she was dumb and alone. Maldhari felt pity on her and took her with them. They named her ‘Randal’ as she was found in desert.

The wife of Maldhari took care of her as her own daughter. As Mataji was with Maldhari, famine was over and rain was in plenty. Many people in the family of Maldhari were lame, blind, and leprous. Mataji cured them and made them healthy. Maldhari people were not able to identify her.

Once Maldhari made camp near Vasavadi river. At the bank of this river there was a city named Dhutarpur was situated (which later was renamed as Vasavad.). Servants of King were taking Milk, curd etc from Maldharis. Randal Mataji showed herself as teenager girl of 16 years to them. Her beauty amazed the servants so they praised the beauty of Randal Mataji in front of king. On hearing this king got crazy about her. King went to the camp and asked for the beautiful girl of 16 years in the group. But Maldharis were surprised to hear this since Randal Mataji was in the form of child with them. King thought that Maldharis didn’t want to give the girl and hence he ordered his soldiers to kill everyone in the group. The soldiers started killing the people very cruelly. At that time Randal Mataji couldn’t control herself. She Became angry. So she put her hand on a cow and converted to a lion. She sat on the back of lion started killing the soldiers.

King and other people realized there mistake and got that she is none other than goddess Jagdamba! They bowed down before her and requested that they did not know the real truth and begged to forgive them. Mataji calmed down and gave life to dead soldiers. Because of this fight the place got the name ‘Dadva’.

Randal Mataji blessed Maldharis and warned and took promise from king  that he will not repeat the mistake in future. Randal Mataji gave place in heaven to Maldhari and disappeared. The People started praying Randal Mataji from them.
