ఆయనకు ఆ స్థలం బాగా నచ్చింది. ఆ కొండ కోట నిర్మాణానికి ఎంతో అనువుగా ఉందనీ, అక్కడ కోటను నిర్మిస్తే ఆ చుట్టు పక్కల గ్రామం వెలసి సుసంపన్నంగా, ఎంతో వైభవంగా కళకళలాడుతుందనీ జ్యోతిష్కులు శెలవిచ్చారు. దాంతో కాకమహారాజులు అక్కడ కోటను నిర్మించాలని అనుకున్నాడు. వైకుంఠశుద్ధ పంచమి రోజున కోట నిర్మాణానికి శంకుస్థాపన జరిపాడు. అతితక్కువ వ్యవధిలోనే అక్కడ గండికోట ఆవిర్భవించి దుర్భేద్యమైన కోటగా పేరు తెచ్చుకుంది.
