Sahasralinga Tank

[1] Jayasimha Siddharaja in early part of 12th century, expanded and decorated this lake with temples, Kunds, ghats and various other buildings, including Palace and educational institutions and Dharma-shalas.

The great embankment surrounding it is of solid brick work and was faced with stone masonry forming flights of steps to the water's edge.

Towards the western end, there is a basin in which water from the Saraswati river was collected and then allowed to pass into the inlet channel of the Sahasralinga Tank.

[4] In early part of 14th century, Patan was attacked by Alf Khan, general of the Khalji dynasty, the temples along the banks suffered damage but the lake survived.

[5] Jasma Odan, a wife of Rooda who belonged to the Od community of tank diggers, cursed Chaulukya ruler Jayasimha Siddharaja who, captivated by her beauty, proposed marriage to her.

Mayo or Mahya(Jay Vir Maghmaya), from the lower caste Vankar community, sacrificed himself resulting in water filling the tank.

Notice how the same suffix is spelled when it occurs in family names (example: Sahasrabuddhe[12]) without a T. The confusion arises because the Hindi letter "Sa" (स) merges with "ra" (र) and looks like "tra".
