NANGUNERI |
|
|
| Once Sage Bhrigu
started austere penance invoking Sri Devi at Nanguneri. When Sri Devi was pleased to
appear before Sage Bhrigu, Her consort Vishnu also accompanied her. They came to the
hermitage of Sage Bhrigu and wanted to bestow some boons. The Sage made a peculiar request to have Sri Devi herself as his daughter and
Lord Vishnu as his son-in-law so that he could serve them always at Totadri. As Sri Devi
was inclined to grant the boon, Lord Vishnu too granted it. Consequently Sri Devi had to
take birth through Sage Bhrigu’s wife Kyati as their daughter and, in course of time
Vishnu married Her, and remained in blissful abode. This is why Totadri has got the
special significance of being known as Sri Nivasam where prayer becomes immediately
fruitful.
