| Thus the great Lord
Malleswara. Established in this world, the name of the great King Madhava Varma. Later on
a pious devotee by name Panditharadhya came here, and proclaimed to the world that the
devotees of Lord Siva were superior even to the sages. He illustrated the truth of this,
by bundling up live, coal in a piece of cloth, with the tender twig of a Sami tree,
without burning it. God Malleswara was pleased with it and manifested himself to this
devotee. This Lord according to the popular legend, is Mahadeva Malleswara, "the
endless one ' the lover of his devotees and worshipping whom the lords of the earth
prospered of old". |
