King Mahipal was the ancestor of Maharaja Vikramaditya at the 15th place in the pedigree of Ramdeoji. His son was Kocharji Mahipalji was enlightened by Mahatma Posalia of Tappa Gachh. There is a story in support of this. Mahipalji did not believe in Mantras and Chamatkars. One day he asked Mahatma, whether gold can be made by mantras? Posaliyaji replied that Mantras have great powers. He disbelieved the Mahatma. Mahatmaji told him that he can show him the miracle if he promise to become Jain Oswal. He agreed to the proposal.

Mahatmaji gave him some powder on Deepavali night and said, “You drop it at any place, that place will become gold the next morning”. He poured that powder of the roof of the belconies of his house. Next morning he found that they whole were of gold.

Next morning he went to the Mahatmaji with family and took the oath. His family was named Kochar.

Jivaji and Rupaji were famous persons in their pedigree. So they were named Jivani and Rupani. Above story is not trustworthy. In the origin of Oswal history gotra Kochar is sub-gotra of Didu.

The Kuldevi of Kochar gotra is Beeshath Mata.

This idol had twenty hands. Maharaja of Jalore was the most ferdent devotee of this diety. Sardar Baijnathji was a close friend of Maharaja Mansingh of Jalore. When he set on the throne of Jodhpur he called Sardar Baijnathji came with his Kuldevi Beeshath Mata.
