Angered by the disturbance, the sage drank up the entire river.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #37474f;\">Upon the prayers of King Bhagiratha and other gods, Sage Jahnu relented and released Ganga through his ear on the <strong>Saptami<\/strong> of Vaisakha Shukla Paksha. Thus, Ganga was reborn as the daughter of Jahnu Rishi and came to be known as <strong>Jahnavi<\/strong>.
