ANTIQUITY
As
this kshetra was turned into Dhakshina Kailas by Lord Maheswar, so
as to be within the easy reach of his bhakthakoti in the beginning
of creation itself, it has such abundant corpus of evidence that
scores of racks are overflowing with rare books dealing with the
lilas of Maheswar. Every writer, both in rhapsody or tranquility
emptied his soul eulogising the glory of the Lord, for its history
is as old as the universe. The Sthalapuranam supplies such fantastic
accounts that consume days and nights of incessant study. So it is
enough, if attention is paid to three episodes instrumental in
giving to this kshetra the holy name of Srikalahasti.
