| The
three Gods, Brahma, Rudra and Vishnu descended to Bhuloka at a spot called Rupanaguntla,
which was named so, since the three murthis made them selves visible to the mortal world
at that place. They then transformed themselves, Lord Siva as a hunter, Lord Brahma as an
arrow, and Lord Vishnu as the bird 'Kapotha pakshi ' Lord Siva as a hunter with his arrow,
ran and jumped about. Desiring to shoot the bird. The
bird, however, flew rapidly and found refuge in the hands of the king Sibi, seeking his
protection. At that time, Sibi was doing his hundredth yajna. |
