DRAKSHARAMAM

ANTIQUITY

Several scriptures like Bhahmandapurana, Skandapurana and Bhimeswara Mahatmya; and inscriptional proofs in many forms embody a great corpus of valuable and authentic information on the shrine, narrating its unbounded glory that establishes its reputation as a Bhoganagara, rather than a Mokshapuri, making it a dazzling diamond in the diadem of temples adorning the Bharatamata, since Dhaksha Prajapathis time, and is called by many names such as Dakshatapovana and Dhakshavatika etc. Its rich literary wealth takes the readers to the days of Dhaksha, one of the Navabrahmas residing here then. Though there are many episodes of its undiminished fame, it is enough, a few are singled out for proper understanding of its glowing past. The questions of "What" and 'How' of the origin of Pancharamas deserve study, and that serves a good background, rather better starting point of the story.
