As promised, Mahavishnu and
Mahalakshmi in the names of Janardhanaswamy and Konakamala, Maheswar
and Uma in the names of Nagareswar and Vindhyavasini took their
seats in the magnificently built temples, and started raining boons
on the citizens to fulfilling their desires on the merits of their sat karmas.
Hence, a belief was current that a circumambulation of
the city confers the same merit as that of going round the earth
bounded by four oceans. As it was materialized and executed at the
instance of the Highest Divinities, neither there was dearth in
anything, nor imports were awaited for daily consumption and so was
hailed as a city surpassing the splendor of Atakapuri, the capital
of Kubera.
