According to one account, Revan nath derived the name Kada Siddha from his siddhi, powers: A woman [called "maiee"] was against all saints in "karver" province.
Guru Dattatreya recognised the boy as an Avatara being incarnated on earth and gave him special siddhi, divine powers, called "Mahima".
Revan Natha realised his Satya Swaroopa, and proceeded to work for the welfare of the world, and the upliftment of poor and needy people.
The mother of the dead child began weeping, upon discovering this; Revan Natha, woken by the sound, got up to investigate and—meeting the father, who was also stricken by grief—asked the latter what had occurred.
After consoling the grieving family, Revan Natha straightaway approached Lord Shiva, and brought the immortal consciousnesses (sanjivan chaitanya) of the seven dead children therefrom; he divided the body of the boy who had died the previous night, and, reinstating the awarenesses (chaitanya) therein, made alive the seven dead children and gave them rebirth by using his spiritual power.
The Brahmin family—no longer weeping with grief, but with joy—showered the sage with praise and gratitude; Shri Revan Natha thence stayed in the village for some days more, thereafter proceeding on his pilgrimage for divine duties (i.e., looking after the welfare of needy people).
[2] Other accounts mention a history of "more than 1300 years",[5] and the 14th century CE, when a Lingayat Priest established a Shivling at the hill, which became Kaneri Math.
[6] Waarshik Maha Utsava (Annual Ceremony) is being celebrated continuously for 3 days over here and the said practice is observed in Revan Natha Darbar Kolhapur since 33 years regularly with all joy.
