And, Garuḍa, who wanted to teach the haughty Kāliya a lesson challenged him to fight, and the fight took place in river Kālindī, Kāliya's abode. During the fight the lashing of Garuḍa's wings raised the water in Kālindī up in the sky and it drenched the sage Saubhari all over, who was performing tapas on the banks of Kālindī. Saubhari cursed that the body of Garuḍa be shattered into a thousand pieces if ever he entered that area in future, and thenceforth the place became a prohibited area for Garuḍa. During after years Kāliya was put up at this place. - [Previous: c7.188](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.188) - [Next: c7.190](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.190) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.189](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.189) · Pramāṇa
