And
Gopanna was released with a clean chit; when the wonder ceased to
operate, the Navab reinstated and honoured him fittingly by making
several endowments to the temple. Moreover, he decided to present to
the Presiding Deity of Bhadrachalam temple some offerings Pattu
Puttam and akshatas every year during the Kalyanotsvam festival
celebrated on a grand scale. A farmana was issued anon to this
effect. Moreover, all the jewels made and offered by Ramadas were
allowed to adorn the deities. Fresh endownments were made lavishly.
How marvelous! Muslim fund for Hindu God! Who out stapped whom, is
known to that All-time mysterious All-mighty God only. The State
Government, as the rightful successor to the Nizam is implementing
the royal farmana of offering clothes and auspicious akshatas every
year through a deputy sent on this occasion. The pieceless
ornaments, like Pachachla Pathakam, Chinthaku pathakam, Kalikiturai
etc., presented by Gopanna are still used for decoration during
festival occasions, and are preserved with great care and due
devotion.
