according to Historical Statement Nag Raj Karkota rewarded this jeweled vest to farmer after successful treatment of eye problem of his wife by the farmer. But vest had been stolen during one summer while farmer was busy working in his farm at the time when he wear off his vest and keep aside after filling hot.

After some time when the farmer was attending Machchindranath festival at Jawalakhel, he saw someone wearing the same vest. A clash took place between the farmer and the man wearing the vest. After that they came to Machchindranath for final judgment for the ownership of Jeweled Vest.

Then Machchendranath came in conclusion that who will bring the evidence to prove the ownership of that jeweled vest he will get that vest.
