Translation

After visiting the temple of Śiyālī-bhairavī [another form of the goddess Durgā], Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the son of mother Śacī, went to the bank of the River Kāverī.

Purport

Śiyālī-bhairavī is located in the Tañjor district, about forty-eight miles east of Tañjor City. There is a very celebrated temple of Lord Śiva there and also a very large lake. It is said that one small boy, a devotee of Lord Śiva, came to that temple, and the goddess Durgā, known as Bhairavī, gave him her breast to suck. After visiting this temple, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu went to the bank of the River Kāverī via the district of Tricinapallī. The Kāverī is mentioned in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.5.40) as a very pious river.
