SUMMARY: In this Badari Kshetra, where Lord Sri Hari incarnated as Hayagreeva during the Holy Sacrifice that Lord performed, the Vedic hymns being chanted by Brahmins while having their bath, are heard even today through the five streams of holy water.

There is a pond in the Nara Parvat, which is very close to Badari. It is believed that Lord Brahma had once performed a sacrifice on that mountain, where Lord Sri Hari incarnated as Hayagreeva, a human form with the face of a horse. Some people say that five streams of water spring from that pond. Some people put the number of streams as four. Through these streams of water, the four Vedas and Upa Vedas or sub Vedas are heard by Brahmins who take bath in those streams. Those who contend the number streams is four, claim that Rig Veda hymns are heard in the Rig Veda stream, Yejur Veda hymns in Yejur Veda, Sama Veda in the Sama Veda stream and Atharvana Veda in the Atharvana Veda stream. Some others contend that there are five streams and in the fifth stream, sub Veda hymns are heard.

Sri Vadirajaru syllogizes in this stanza that scholars having bath in the five streams hear four Vedas and the sub Veda through separate streams.
