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 Tanjor district, about forty-eight miles east of Tanjor 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 () as a very pious river.
