Manu and Satarupa had a daughter named Devhuti. She wanted
to marry the legendary sage, Kardama. To fulfil their daughter's wish,
Manu and Satarupa went to meet Kardama.
Kardama agreed to the proposal, but he lay a condition that as soon as
Devhuti had a child, he would retire to the forests. Manu agreed and got
them married. After some years Devhuti gave birth to nine daughters and
Kardama got ready to leave. Devhuti pleaded with him saying that she
wouldn't be able to shoulder the responsibility of bringing up her
daughters alone.
Kardama assured her that if she drowned herself in God's worship he
would help her. Devhuti began worshipping the lord and was granted a son
named Kapil. Her daughters were married off, and under Kapil's guidance,
Devhuti began her meditation on the banks of Saraswati, Completely lost
in God, She attained salvation at the palace, Which is today known as
Siddhipad.
