Sage Agastya was the great sage,
who lay down the grammar rules for the Tamil language.
He was a very short person.
Once he was trolling along the banks of the river Cauvery
on seeing him river Cauvery wonder
how a great sage like him could be so short and started laughing at him.
Sage agastya become very angry on river Cauverys insults.
He wanted to teach her lesson and show with this divine power.
He locked up her in his Kamandal, spouted pot in his hand
A sage who saw all this knew that southern part of the country
could not survive without river Cauvery.
It was the life giving river.
He went to mount kailash to seek the help of lord Ganesha
to release river Cauvery from Sage Agastya's kamandal.
Dont worry, I will release river Cauvery from sage agastya's kamandal and I will do it as soon as possible.
Sage agastya who locked up river kaveri with his power
was deeply meditating with the kamandal by his side.
Lord ganesh took the form of the crow
to reach the place where sage agastya was mediating.
He flew down low and toppled the kamadal and released river cauvery.
He then changed himself into small boy and stood infornt of saga agastya.
Hey boy!!! Are You the one who released the river kaveri from my kamandal?
I will knock on your head.
Lord ganesh your are everlasting wisdom.
I wanted to knock your head without knowing
that you had taken the form of a very small boy
How can I remove the same?
Sage agastya why did you stop from hitting me on my head.
I would be proud to get knockings on my head by a great sage like you.
come knock me
Lord ganesha, How can I do this ?
I should knock on my head for having try to knock you.
Sage Agastya you have not committed any mistake.
From today everybody who worships me in this manner
will be blessed with wisdom,knowledge and good virtues.
