Seeing this, devotee Lakhan Thapa Magar mourned in mourning, while Rani reminded Lakhan Thapa “I will give you another chance to serve me. You return to your village Kafak. I will fulfill the desires of the devotees by being born in the same place as a rock. ‘ According to a religious statement, six months later, when a man was plowing cattle at the site of Manakamana Bhagwati’s temple, milk and blood started flowing from a rock. It is said that Siddha Lakhan Thapa, who had divine vision, stopped the flow of blood after performing Tantric rituals and a temple of the goddess was established in the same bag.

After the incident, the king of Gorkha appointed Lakhan Thapa and his children as priests to serve Manakamana Mai and sealed the land for the daily worship.
