Brahmadev venerated God Trivikram when he came to Satya Loka (on earth) with the same sacred water of the Ganges, to get the stream Ganges held up by God Shankar on his head, to stream. There was a starvation of 24 years and individuals were influenced by the throbs of appetite. Be that as it may, Varun - the God of Rains, satisfied with Sage Gautama organized rains each day in Gautama's Ashram (abode) which was in Trimbakeshwar. Gautama used to sow rice in the encompassing fields of his Ashram in the morning, harvest the product toward the evening and with it sustained an extensive gathering of rishis, who took cover in his Ashram by virtue of the starvation. The endowments of the gathering of rishis expanded the legitimacy (Punya) of Gautama.

Master Indra's position got to be unstable due to his expanded legitimacy. So Indra requested mists to rain all over Trimbakeshwar, so that the starvation will be over and Rishis will do a reversal and the expanding benefits of Gautama will be debilitated. Despite the fact that the starvation was over, Gautama asked the Rishis to stay back and continued encouraging them and picking up legitimacy.

When he saw a bovine munching in the paddy field and he pushed her away by tossing Darbha (sharp, pointed grass). The slim dairy animals kicked the bucket by this. It was Jaya - Parvati's companion, who had taken the type of a dairy animals. This news annoy the Rishis and they declined to lunch get-together at his Ashram. Gautama asked for Rishis to demonstrate an exit from this transgression. He was encouraged to approach Lord Shiva and solicitation him to discharge Ganges and a shower in the Ganges would set him free of his transgressions. Gautama then honed compensation by heading off to the crest of Brahmagiri. Master Shankara was satisfied by his venerates and gave him the Ganges.
