Inside is a Buddha image with two differentsized eyes. According to legend, Shin Ajagona was a monk from early Bagan era who practiced alchemy. He tried to find the Philosopher’s Stone, which he believed would have the ability to turn anything into gold. In his experiment, he dipped themetal stone into acid, but failed to produce the desired Philosopher’s stone. Admitting his failure, he poked out both of hiseyes to appease the king of Bagan.
