When the child grew up, she used to take morning ablutions along with the
Sage in the Lotus tank. On the northern bank of the tank there used to be heavenly flower
plant Parijata. Beneath it they used to engage in meditation. Later, the Vaideeka Vimana,
which was amalgamated with Pranavakara Vimana, separated, and Lord Vishnu appeared in that
Vimana before Sage Hema and his daughter Kamalavalli on Makara sankrama day in the month
of Tai (January-February) in Rishabha Lagna.
The fulfil the grace shown to Saga Hema at Mount Meru to be his
son-in-law, Vishnu took a physical form and Sage Hema performed the ceremonial rites of
offering his daughter to Him in the same Lagna. So this place is known as Kalyanapuram
(Kalyanam means marriage). As it was Devi Lakshmi who came to Kumbakonam first and
Mahavishnu came afterwards to marry her, it has become the established tradition of the
place to pay respects to the Devi first and to the Lord only afterwards. All devotees
first offer worship to Kamala- valli and then to Lord Sarangapani. This place is also
known as Devalokapattanam, Kshetrasaram, etc.
On account of some misunderstanding, Lord Sudarsan and Surya once
started fighting. Surya was defeated and lost his brightness. To regain his lost lustre,
Surya came to this place and performed penance. After many years of arduous penance,
Surya pleased Lord Sarangapani and got back his original brightness. So this place is also
known asBhaskarapuram.
