Presuming the running maiden to be carrying image of the goddess, he followed her past-haste to the bank of the river Kushabhadra. There to his surprise, saw the Goddess Ramachandi floating in the middle of the river, which was in full floods. Unable to garb her, he went back desperate.

After worshipping her, pilgrims proceed to Bhuvaneswar.
