Puranic Encyclopaedia

GOMATĪ   (KAUŚIKĪ). A celebrated river of Purāṇic fame. This is worshipped as a goddess.
1) The curse.
Kaṁpa Rāmāyaṇa states that this river was Kauśikī, sister of Viśvāmitra. She became a river by a curse. Kauśikī was married to a sage called Ṛcīka. Once Ṛcīka went to devaloka to see Brahmā. Kauśikī unable to bear the separation followed her husband by her power of chastity. On the way Ṛcīka saw her and cursed her and made her into a river. From that day onwards she started running as a river named Kauśikī. See under Kauśikī. [Bāla Kāṇḍa, Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa] .

[Śloka 20, Chapter 169, Ādi Parva] . iii) The devī of Gomatī river lives in the court of Varuṇa worshipping him.
