Ravana returned to find that Ganesha had already placed the "Atma-Linga" on the ground. Vishnu then removed his illusion and it was daylight again. Ravana, realising that he had been tricked, tried to uproot and destroy the linga. Due to the force exerted by Ravana, some pieces were scattered. One such piece from the head of the linga is said to have fallen in present-day Surathkal. The famous Sadashiva temple is said to be built around that piece of linga. Then he decided to destroy the covering of the "Atma-Linga", and threw the case covering it to a place called "Sajjeshwar", 37 kilometers away. Then he threw the lid of the case to a place called "Guneshwar" (now Gunavanthe) and Dhareshwar, 16-19 kilometers away. Finally, he threw the cloth covering the "Atma-Linga" to a place called Mrideshwar in Kanduka-Giri ("Kanduka Hill"). Mrideshwar has been renamed to Murdeshwar.
