PURPORT
Siyali-bhairavi is located in the Tanjorean district, about forty-eight miles northeast of Tanjorean City.
There is a very much celebrated temple of Lord Siva there and also a very large lake.
It is said that once a small boy who was a devotee of Lord Siva came to that temple and the goddess Durga, known as Bhairavi, gave him her breast to suck.
After visiting this temple, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to the bank of the river Kaveri via the district of Tiruchchirapalli.
The Kaveri is mentioned in Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.5.40) as a very pious river.
