MADURANTAKAM

Accordingly the Brahma Putras installed Sri Karunakaramurthy in the hermitage of the great sage Vibhandaka and attained salvation by worshipping him. This happened in the Krita Yuga.

During his banishment in Dandakaranya, Sri Rama came to the Vibhandakasram and worshipped Karunakaramurthy. After staying there for some time, on the eve of his departure Sage Vibhandaka requested Rama to pay a return visit to the place on his way back to Ayodhya. When Sri Rama, Lakshmana and Sita were returning to
Ayodhya, after the killing of Ravana, the Pushpaka Vimana, which was carrying them, would not move when it reached this place.

When Rama wanted to know the reason
why the Vimana would not move, his consort Sita reminded him of the request of Sage Vibhandaka. At this, Sri Rama clasped the hands of Sita and helped her to get down the steps of the Pushpaka Vimana.
