VIJAYAWADA |
|
|
| To invoke divine
aid in his favor, he made a Shivalinga out of the earth, worshipped it, and offered
prayers to it. He saw the flowers, with which he worshipped the Linga, as physically
falling on the hunter before him and he thereupon realised that the hunter was none other
than the Lord himself. The hunter immediately disappeared and the Lord appeared himself
before Arjuna, in all his glory. Arjuna prayed to him and his prayer was granted, and
Pasupatha was given to him by Lord Siva, As a commemoration of this great event, Arjuna is
supposed to have installed the Vijayeswara temple here, in the Indrakila hill. |
