There were two brothers Sankha And Likhita . They reached Kanipakam as pilgrims . They journey from a long distance and both of them were red and hungry . Likhita , the younger brother was feeling hungry and disregarding his elder brother ’ s orders he plucked a mango from the nearest tree and ate it . When the elder brother came to about this he was so angry that he complained against his own younger brother to the ruler who ruled that area . Sankha wanted his younger brother to be punished for his sins , punishment which he got . But the punishment was too harsh for the crime he had commi ed . He lost both of his arms . Later both of the brother took a bath in the Bahuda river near Kanipakam Temple . The moment they broke the surface of the holy water , Likhita found that both of his arms have been miraculously rea ached to his shoulders . A er hearing this incident , the ruler renamed the river as Bahuda ( Bahu means arms )
