It
is here fell a big chunk of Saligram of Tarakasura, when the spear
hurled by Subrahmanya hit and split up into five parts, falling and
forming later Pancharamas; it is this Punyakshetra equated with
Varanasi in points of sanctity, and granting boons by the presiding
deities; it is this divyabhumi that releases the visitors from the
cycle of births and deaths- freeing from Punarjanma; it is this
thirtha kshetra that assures Sivaloka for three days' stay and
worshipping Someswaraswamy; it is to consecrate this land and
worship Lord Siva, river Krishna changing its normal west to east
course is flowing from north to south.
Abounding
in such marvels, and sanctified by the eternal presence of Lord Siva
and his consort Bala Chamundika Devi, together with embodying the
world famous Buddha stupa, this city of Amaravathi not only proved
superior to Devendra's capital, out succeeded in luring thousands of
moksha this, and foreign tourists over centuries now, and with the
passage of time its spiritual eminence is on the increase, though
political glitter wore off with the demise of the theist kings.
