It is mentioned that the extraordinarily beautiful and strong goddess was born as a young girl of ,out of the collectively pooled 'Tejas' of various 'Devtas' and lords Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. The purpose of the creation of the goddess was the killing of Demon.

The Goddess was born to Ratnakar and was named as Vaishnavi. Later on, Vaishnavi learned the art of meditation and went into deep forest for meditationwhere she could visit Lord Rama, during his fourteen years of exile.

Lord Rama directed her to meditate and set up an Ashram at the base of Trikuta hills to elevate her level of spirituality so as to bless the mankind and rid the poor and destitute of their sufferings.Lord Rama told her that after doing this God 'Vishnu will merge her into himself.
                                           

After setting up her ashram there she began to meditate. As predicted by Lord Rama, her glory spread far and wide and people began to flock to her Ashram to seek her blessings.

Later on, a Tantrik named Gorakh Nath who was aware of the happenings between Lord Rama and Vaishnavi, became curious to find out whether Vaishnavi could attain a high level of spirituality, He deputed his disciple 'Bhairon Nath' to know the truth.

Bhairon Nath observed that she always carried bow and arrows with her and was  surrounded by apes and a ferocious looking lion. Bhairon Nath was impressed by Vaishnavi's extraordinary beauty and was thinking to marry her.

Vaishnavi decided to flee away into the mountains to continue her 'Tapasaya' undisturbed. Bhairon Nath however chased her there. The goddess later on, was compelled to finish him.

The goddess beheaded him outside the mouth of the cave.The severed head of Bhairon fell with a force at a distant hilltop. Bhairon Nath prayed to the deity to forgive him.
