Many sages have meditated here. Swami Ramanuja, Swami Nigamanta Mahadesika and other Acharyas have trod this place. After all, the Lord's greatness is propagated by Bhagavatas' worship! Agastya brought Kaveri in this World. A Demon tried to stop the flow. Lord Shiva killed the demon and allowed the river Kaveri to flow. That is why this place is called Shivasamudram. Very small temple, but a great Lord Sri Ranganatha is gracing. In the ensuing month of February, Brahmotsavam festival is to be celebrated. A place to be visited. Nyaya means never violates Dharma. He took Avatars to establish Dharma. Sri Rama was an embodiment of Dharma. Observing one's varna -asrama, is Dharma. When Devas surrendered to the Lord to protect them from Asuras, the Lord fought the asuras and chased them. Malyavan, an associate of Ravana, was running after defeat and the Lord was chasing. Malyavan, appealed to Sriman Narayana to observe Kshatriya Dharma of not killing those running away from the battle! The Lord replied that it was funny for Malyavan to mention Dharma after practicing Adharma; besides, He was not Kshatriya at that time [He would take Kshatriya form in Sri Rama Avatar] and His Dharma was to protect those surrendered! 'Krishnam dharmam sanatanam'. Bharata came to Sri Rama in the forest and mercifully prayed to accept Kingdom and return to Ayodya. At that time sage Jabali, in support of Bharata, told that since Dasarata, who had ordered Sri Rama to go to forest was dead and gone, Sri Rama could return. Sri Rama was angered by this and condemned the sage for preaching Adharma!
