Ganga Sagar

Ganga crried her travels. A rishi's ashrama was on the way. This rishi was Padma. When Ganga touched this ashrama, she became known as Padmavati.
As she had been travelling along with Bhagirath, she became known as Bhagirathi. She also got names like Sapavani, Suravani, Bhairavavahini and SagarGamini.

The gods showered flowers on her.Indra had a dip in her, and the spot became known as Indreshwar. Ganga came close to they spot known as Navadwip. Come close to the ashrama of Kapila, Ganga split herself into hundred tributaries. Her water touched the ashes of Sagara's sons who getting salvation, went heaven wards.

Taking blessings of Ganga, Bhagiratha left for Ayodhya amd Ganga left for the ocean, and the spot became known as GangaSagar.
