AHOBALAM

It is indeed a matter of great pride, permissible in a way, that Andhra Pradesh is treasuring up with utmost veneration all these four kshetras, particularly this one, where Narasimha incarnated himself at the call of Saranagatha, displayed his mufti-dimensional form to lifting the deserving righteous and crushing the egocentric danavadhama, along with others of similar spiritual significance. So all the four principal places, like Simhachalam, where he first descended to lifting the sinking bhakti under the weight of a 50 mile long hill; Ahobalam, where he put down adharma with his mighty hands; Kritasoucham; Where he washed off the adharmic blood stains; and Papaharam, where he rested after that Jaganmangalakarya. And what is more, though his incarnation is recognised and counted as one of the ten, many parts of India have not built fitting shrines appropriate to his dignified and distinguished position, nor worship is done all its forms. Andhra Pradesh alone is evincing such keen interest and infinite zeal worthy of emulation and instant implementation. This ennobling psychic aspect - a speciality is handed down from generation to generation, and is preserved, rather enriched by continuing the worship with infinite ardour.
