It is believed that Prabeer Chandra Bhanjdev was born out of a pumpkin. Goddess Danteshwari appeared in his dreams and ordered him to bring her from Warangal to his own land. Obeying the order of the goddess, Prabeer went to Warangal. Mata Danteshwari agreed to come with him, but with one condition, that while walking he should not turn his back on her. He followed the same but while crossing the river her pairi or the anklet got drowned and Bhanjdev turned back and looked. Danteshwari vanished immediately. The river is known as Pairi after her and flows on the border of Bastar.
