Yoduvanshi Somchand was king of
Kotda (this village is near Jaisalmer) He had a big army of 5000 soldiers, but
his main occupation was dacoity.
One
day Anchal Gachhacharya Shri Jaisingh Suri came near Kotada from Ummarkot of
Sindh with 500 disciples. The army of Somchand blocked their way and ordered
the to hand over all the valuables to them. Acharya decided to enlighten him.
So he turned him into a motionless statue and entered the city of Kotda.
Rajmata
Swarupdevi came to know of this fact then she rushed to the Acharya and prayed
to make him normal. Acharya placed the condition that if he left decoity and be
a nonviolent person then only he could do the needful, and further that when
they all came to the city they all will convert themselves and become Oswal
Jain. Rajmata Accepted all the conditions put forth by the Acharya. Then he
uttered mantras and they all become normal and come to the city. They all
converted their cast and became Oswal. Son of Somchand was called Galji so
their gotra was named ‘Gala’.
