This
son of Chachdev and Pahini of Dhandhuka in Saurashtra, gave indications of his brilliance
from his very early childhood. Acharya Shri Devchandrasuri, scholar of many scriptures
and author of numerous books happened to have his stay in Dhandhuka. Pahini, the
mother along with her 5 year old son Chang came there to offer their respects. At
this time Shri Devchandrasuriji had gone to a temple for worship. Of his own accord
Chang went up and occupied a seat. As Shri Devchandrasuri returned from the temple
he saw this sight. Seeing his unperturbed facial expression and innate aptitude,
Shri Devchandrasuri told Pahini: “This son of yours shall become a prominent saint
in future and shall devote himself to public welfare.”
