Near Kapila’s asrama, in this island of Jahnudvipa, a great muni named Jahnu once had his asrama. One day while sitting in meditation, he heard the deafening roar of the Ganges River as she followed Bhagiratha. Afraid that Ganga would destroy the planet, Jahnu Muni swallowed her up in one gulp. Bhagiratha was overcome with anxiety. Ganga was supposed to liberate his ancestors! With great devotion, he began to worship Jahnu Muni, offering beautiful prayers. Pleased with Bhagiratha’s sincerity, Jahnu Muni allowed Ganga to emerge from his ear. Thus, Ganga is known as Jahnavi devi, the daughter of Jahnu Muni.
