Kapila used the powers of the gem and created a deliceous meal for the prince.The prince shaken by the power of the gem grabbed it from the sage.Sad Kapila Muni prayed to Vinayaka for help. Vinayaka restored the gem from the prince, however the sage refused to accept it, and began to rever Vinayaka as Chintaamani Vinayaka.
