Narayana Narayana

        Pleased by Mandavya's penance, Sriman Narayanan appeared before him
in all His splendor. It was exactly similar to 
the one described a few weeks ago.

        Then, Vishwaksena-the Senadhipathi of Sriman Narayanan, said, "Oh
Mandavya! You are indeed blessed that the Lord of 
the three worlds has come here to grant all your wishes". Listening to
this celestial message, Mandavya opened his eyes, 
only to behold the divine form of Sriman Narayana. He then sang out
the glory of Sriman Narayana, who was standing with one 
hand on His waist and the other pointing to His lotus feet. Then, as
per the wish of Mandavya, Sriman Narayana consented to 
stay there as archa murthi and accept worship according to the
Pancharatra Agama Vidhi. He also granted a boon to Mandavya
that he would be given His Divya Sayujyam at that place itself. Saying
so, He immediately turned into an Archa Vigraham. He
was later consecrated at that place coinciding with the Shravana
Nakshathram of Bhadrapada masam, Shukla Paksham, as per 
Pancharatra Agama Vidhi. One can find, even to this day, the presence
of one of Mandavya's clan, worshipping Sri Srinivasa 
Perumal, in the Garbha Griham, in the form of a frog.

        Thus, this place is also sanctified by the divine stay of Sriman
Narayana, His Divya Parivaram and Sage Mandavya, 
who attained Divya Sayujyam at this place.

(to be continued...)
