There is a legend about merchant Vishala. He had visited Gaya and had performed a ceremony for his ancestors. He was reborn as a prince named Vishala. He once saw a white being, a red being and a black being in the sky. He asked them about their identity.
- The white being replied that he is his father. As he had performed the rite in Gaya he now lives in Heaven.
- The red being was his grand father who had killed a Brahmana. However the performance of that ceremony led him to reside in heaven.
- The black being was his great grandfather who had killed a sage. However he also now lives on Heaven due to that ceremony performed in Gaya.
