It is at
this place, the formidable Saktis-Brahmi, Vaishnavi, Sambhavi, Kumari, Indrani
and Varahi supported by Bhadra, Veerabhadra and Gananatha waged a dreadful
war against Mookasura; it is at this holy place the Omnipotent Saktiamsas of
Brahma, Vishnu, maheswar, Muruga, Indra and Yama merged into the self -
manifested Jyothirlinga at the request of the Trio; it is this place that
proudly displays the vestiges of the sacred shrine built by the Trimurtis; it is
here, just opposite the main, shrine lies the famous Agnithirtha, orginated and
flowed down from the Homagunda of Atrimahrshi; it is the Kashaya thirtha of this
place, deemed and used as panecea for all physical ailments; it is one among the
few kshetras connected by a long long water way in addition to numerous bus
routes, and finally it was the capital of Kamhasura built by Maya, the asura
architect of great fame. And with many more such memorable episodes interwined
with the lives of deva-dana-manavas, this mokshapuri is occupying a covetable
place in the history of temples of our Punya Bharat.
