KALAHASTI |
|
| Thinking
that the elephant was spoiling- the sanctity of the Linga, the serpent got into its trunk.
The elephant unable to resist the pain dashed its trunk against the Lingam, thereby
crushing the serpent and the Spider, and itself being unable to bear the pain it also died
on the spot. Lord Siva gave Mukti to all the above three, being satisfied with their
devotion, and hence it is that the Kshetra is called Sri Kalahasti. The Linga contains in
it traces of these three also.
