Vibhishana
kept the Ranga Vimanam on the bank and had his holy bath in the
river Kaveri and started worshipping the Ranga Vimanam. He stayed there for the
day at the request of the Chola king and wanted to start next morning to perform the, Adi
Brahmotsava at his own palace in
Lanka.
The Chola king and the Rishis present requested Vibhishana to perform the Adi Brahmotsava
there itself. Vibhishana agreed to this request and in great pomp
the Adi Brahmotsava was performed on the banks of River Kaveri. In commemora- tion of this
incident, the Brahmotsava is
performed on the day of the full moon in the month of Panguni, Uttaram day. When the
celebrations were over, Vibhishana started to carry the Ranga Vimanam to his kingdom,
Lanka.
To his utter dismay, he found that the Vimanam
wouldnot move. This must have caused almost heartbreak to Vibhishana
who wet on praying to Lord Ranganatha to save him from the situation. Ranganatha advised
him that he (the Lord) desired to
stay there for some time, looking towards South, to bless an including Vibhishana and
Lanka, and asked Vibhishana to go back to his principality.
