YADAGIRI |
|
|
| Yadavas then begged
the Lord to show him the three supernal forms of the Lord, which had captivated his heart
viz., the Swarup-is of Lord Vishnu as Jwala Narasimha, Gandabheranda Narasimha and
Yogananda Narasimha. Accordingly, Lord Vishnu granted the boon, and gave darshan of the
above three forms of the Narasimha Avatara to Yadavas. But Yadavas was still not fully
satisfied with this fleeting view of the Lord, and the hunger in his soul required that he
should constantly remain in the presence of the Lord himself. He, therefore, begged of the
Lord to remain permanently in the hill in those three forms. The Lord, who was well
pleased with the devotion of Yadavas, acceded to his request, and began to live there
permanently on the hill in the above three forms of Lord Narasimha. Thus, the hill got its
name as Yadavagiri, the corrupted form of which is Yadagiri. |
