VIJAYAWADA

ANTIQUITY

Strangely enough its sanctity is not confined to antiquity alone, nor did it vanish with it in a flash like lightning. It is continued to flow down along with the holy Krishnaveni with an infinite number of miracles of wide variety. In every yuga, it seems, some sport of the other of the celestials was played here to make the flame of religiocity ever burning. Though there are many miraculous episodes, it is enough, if two or three are gleaned to get proper perspective of its inimitable glory. Puranas, epics, local histories, literary works and travel accounts together with inscriptions are plenty and they shed enough light on the past. As the hills are the main source, and the starting point of its glittering past, better it is to begin with the Indrakila Parvatha, where Arjuna scored Victory over Lord Siva and how the commemorated it.
