Text 76] Lord Caitanya’s Travels to the Holy Places 333
TRANSLATION
After visiting the temple of Siyali-bhairavi [another form of the goddess
Durga], Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the son of mother Saci, went to the bank of
the River Kaveri.
PURPORT
Siyali-bhairavi is located in the Tafjor district, about forty-eight miles east of
Tafjor City. There is a very celebrated temple of Lord Siva there and also a very
large lake. It is said that one small boy, a devotee of Lord Siva, came to that
temple, and the goddess Durga, known as Bhairavi, gave him her breast to suck.
After visiting this temple, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to the bank of the River
Kaveri via the district of Tricinapalli. The Kaveri is mentioned in Srimad-
Bhagavatam (11.5.40) as a very pious river.
