King Ajmal Maharaj desired children so he did penance for twelve years. At the end of this Krishna appeared to him in a dream and asked him to visit Dwarkapuri where he would be blessed with a son. So Ajmal Maharaj left on foot and reached Dwarka after six months. After bathing he went to the temple and asked the priest to see Lord Dwarkapuri and the priest directed him to a statue. He demanded the priest to direct him to the real Lord who had come to him in his dream and promised him a son. The priest said he did not have the real God. Angry Ajmal Maharaj threw the sweet laddus his wife had given him at the stone image and threatened the priest. The priest got scared and decided to get rid of him.

He told Ajmal the real god was under the water so if he really wanted to see god he would have to jump into the ocean. Ajmal Maharaj leapt into the ocean and found Lord Dwarkapuri sleeping, lying on the serpent with a bandage on his head. A worried Ajmal asked god how he came to have a bandage on his head. God said ‘when innocent devotees like you come along and do not recognize me in my other forms then this happens. They can harm me but how can I harm my dear devotees’. Ajmal explained the reason for his anger.
Then God said, ‘since you have come all the way, tell me what can I do for you?’ Ajmal said simply ‘I don’t have a child and I don’t have a moustache. Because I don’t have a child people call me barren and because I don’t have a moustache people don’t look at my face. Please could you give me both?’

God asked him to feel his face and he immediately found a big moustache on his face. Then he blessed him with two sons. One of them he promised would be god himself. Ajmal asked when that would happen. God said one child who would be born to his wife must be named Bhiram Dev and He (God) would come and lie down in the same cradle. And the day he would come, the water in the pot would turn to milk and red footprints would be found in his courtyard. When his son Bhiram Dev was born the next day Ajmal and his wife found two children in the place of one. Ajmal knew that god had arrived in his house. As told there was milk instead of water in the pot and there were red (kumkum) footprints in the courtyard. God had also told Ajmal that Bhiram Dev was to be fed by Ajmal’s wife but all he needed was incense sticks for him and he would grow up on that. This child was named Ramdevji, the avatar of lord Krishna or Dwarkapuri.
