I come to visit, And when the saint was going back, the mother said, Son, I will also go with you, but I have one condition that you should not look back. The saint said okay, after walking some distance, when he reached in front of Gandai, the saint turned back. He checked to see if mother was coming or not and as soon as he turned around he saw Narmada Maiya said that you turned and looked son, now I will stay here, since then there is a pond at that place and the water never decreases there.
