The response to the invitation was immediate, and every source of holy water that existed on the surface of the earth and below it rushed to the spot. Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati all obeyed the command. Various other tirths from the Himalayas, Vindhyas, Sahyadris, Trikut and Malay mountains flocked together.

There was a tumultuous assemblage of all these and on account of the furor created by them Brahmadeva named it ‘Kallola tirth’. The power of the tirth is so great that even its very darshan is capable of destroying sin. A bath in the tirth is the first rite to be performed by a pilgrim. The tank is walled off from all sides and entrance into the enclosure is only on payment of a fixed charge. Steps lead down to the water making it easier to take a bath in it.

A dip in this tirth during the month of Magha is the giver of great good. The Tulajarnahatmya states that apart from sins, various diseases are cured by this water. This tirth is a large rectangular reservoir forty feet by twenty and is most probably a fourteenth century construction. On one side of the tirth are a number of aisles now used for residential purposes.

From the other side, that is, the northern side a flight of steps leads down another fifteen feet taking the visitor down to the second stage of the Prakara. This is crowded with various tirths and some subsidiary shrines. The point that attracts immediate attention is the 'Gomukh tirth'. Here a stream of water is constantly falling down some six feet from the Gomukh, a stone image of a cow's head.

This flow of water comes from the Mankavati Tirth, as is evident from the fact that when the latter dries up due to scarcity of rains, the former also dries up. However, the local tale is quite different. The water flowing down from the Gomukh is Ganp herself. Once there came a mendicant belonging to the Nath sampradaya. His name was Garibanath. He was rather an unbelieving type of soul and not paying any attention to the local elders decided to go to the Ganges to enjoy real Ganga-snana.

When the Devi saw that her devotees had failed to convince him she herself appeared before him and tried to show him that this indeed was water from the Ganga. But the man was in no mood to accept even the divine explanations. He however, agreed in the end to carry with him a stick and a lemon fruit to the Ganges and drop them in the water there.

Walking down all the way to the Ganges, the Sadhu performed all the rites at the Tirth, got the satisfaction he longed for and then remembering the Devi's words rather skeptically threw the stick and lemon in the river, The man returned to Tuljapur in due course and when, following the usual custom stood below the Gomukh to bathe in the downpour, he saw the stick and the lemon coming out of the Gomukh.

This at last convinced him that the water pouring forth from the Gomukh was in fact Ganges water. The Mahatmyait the Dharsa-tirth’, and says that it consists of the three waters, that of Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati.

Along the same line are other Tirths. These are in the nature of small tanks or wells and recently cupola-like structures have been erected to cover them. Inscribed plates indicate which tirth is what. A guardian or Upadhyaya is sitting near each of these Tirths and guides the visitor about the rites to be performed at each.

There are the Ganeshtirth, the Amrit-kund, also known as the Sudha kund. The whole assemblage of these tirths is kept remarkably clean and tidy. Near them are small shrines to some deities like Siddhi- vinayak, Vitthal, Dattatreya etc.

Then to the east of the Gomukh tirth, but outside the precincts of the temple courtyard is the Mankavati tirth or the Vishnu tirth. This is a huge reservoir, resembling a step well. The arched construction of the aisles around it showing that it is a building of the late Maratha period.
