Solanki King Sidh Raj Jayshinh built Shastraling lake on the river Saraswati about 1000 thousand years ago to solve scarcity of drinking water. During the course of contruction of this lake, the King molested one lady labourer named Jasma Odan. That lady gave 'SHRAP' saying that no water would come/remain in the lake. Ozas ( Joshi) suggested that one human being having 32 virtues should be devoted in the lake. Accordingly one untouchable (Dalit ) youth named MAYO had been devoted. Before giving life, the youth put certain demands before king including to removal of untouchability/caste discrimination and the king agreed to do so. Therefater, the lake remained ful of water. One Hindi film ' Andher Nagri ' acted by Nasirudin Shah is made on this theme. It is also told that dalit youth Mayo was so powerful soldier that some brahmin ozas wanted to kill him and they were successful to kill him in the name of life devotion. Dalits particularly in north Gujarat worship Veer Mayo and celebrate his martyer day as Veer Maya Satam. Veer Mayo amar raho. Jay ho.
