This kshetra thenceforward
became stranger to
drought and deaths, and greenery in its bloom never for a second enjoyed a holiday. The Ganga that descended
at this spot is called with a different name
- Cauvery. She is feeding, pleasing and emancipating the people of Tamil Nadu
due to its long course in it, but lifting the Kannada desa and Kanndigas as it is flowing from this source.
Even the Andhra Pradesh is also a beneficiary due to
lying close to its border. The sacred spot thus came to lime light is now
considered as one of the famous centres of pilgrimage, not only of the
Kannadigas, Tamilians or Andhras, but of the whole Hindu race, or it can be
said of the whole mass of theists belonging to any race or nationality, to be
precise.
