Before the lineage of Shri Ram, in this tradition, the Universal Chakravarti Emperor, he once performed a huge yagya at Omkareshwar on the north bank of the holy Narmada. The blessings of the given brahmins were taken, then the brahmins started leaving then Mandhata went to him and requested that you people should reside here, I will give you the means of livelihood. Jyotirlinga on the banks of Narmada are pleased with such a place, they accepted the request and the Brahmins started doing selfless austerity by staying there, their desire to see mother Narmada. Even after doing hard penance, when the mother was not seen, I thought in my mind that we would give up our lives in this water and all jumped, Mother Narmada thought in her miThese brahmins are sacrificing their lives because of not getting my darshan, the mother took out those brahmins, all had fainted, as soon as the mother touched herself, all of them became alive. The brahmins saw that Makar Vahini was standing in front, everyone saluted mother. Reva said that you had attained death, I have given you life, that's why from today you are Narmadeya) Narmada ji, given by Narmada, became intuitive, since then it was called Narmadeya, later the word Narmadeya was added.
