THE SAGE KAVERU EPISODE The river Cauvery according to another legend was daughter of Kaveru, whose penance blessed him with a daughter and who in turn did penance to obtaining Sayujyamukti to her father. She married Agasthya in her amsa as Lopamudra and took the form of river to cleanse the people of their sins. As her humanitarian ideal is highly laudable, she is given a place in the garbha griha and so is receiving al! types of prayers along with the chief deity. It is indeed a standing testimony of gratitude of the people whose lives were revived by its nectarine water, and lands bloomed beyond description by its perennial flow flooding to the banks almost throughout the year. It is at Srirangapattana - the Adirangam, she is deified and her image is installed in the garbha griha.
