The inhabitants of Krauñcadvīpa are divided into four castes, called the Puruṣas, Ṛṣabhas, Draviṇas and Devakas. Using the waters of those sanctified rivers, they worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead by offering a palmful of water at the lotus feet of Varuṇa, the demigod who has a form of water.
ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« ṬhÄkura says, Äpomayaḥ asmayam: with joined palms the inhabitants of the various sections of KrauñcadvÄ«pa offer the sanctified waters of the rivers to a deity made of stone or iron.
