When asked to leave by Lord Brahma, Narada going around the world came to sarparavaram to find a beautiful lake. Narada wanted to take a bath and when he took the dip, he turned into a beautiful lady and forget all his past. She was looking for a mate, at the same time, Nakunda young prince of Pithapuram came there for hunting. fell in love with here and married. in course of time, she gave birth to 60 sons namely prabhava, vibhava etc ( the name of the Hindu years ). Once king Ripunjaua invaded pithapuram and in the battle, all sons of the lady along with her husband died. The lady hearing the tragic news with grief wanted to end her life. Lord vishnu then appeared before her in form of holy brahma, hearing her tale asked to take another dip in the lake. She had the dip and then she become narada again.
