| She was born on the banks of Manasarovar. When she was born, the Manasarovar started rising due to the onset of rainy season. Then the mother of the girl, crying in anguish for her daughter, said to the lake - 'Saro ma vardhyasva' (Oh lake! Do not let your water rise). In panic, she said 'Sar: ma'; hence the name of the girl became Sarma. |
