ARANMULA PARTHASARATHI

VARKALA

Varkala is the corrupt form of valkala - a word for garment in sanskrit. A pass dedicated to Sri Janardhana swamy came up at a place, where Narada's Valkala - upper cloth fell. Seems odd, isn't it? But true, cent percent. It lies at about 2 km west of Varkala Railway Station on the Trivandrum - Quilon line.

Once Brahma managed to steal a few seconds from his ardeous work and slipped into the lap of Morpheus - the Goddess of sleep, during office hours. It so chanced Narada - the Kalahabhojana entered then singing in praise of Mahavishnu in such an ecstatic joy that he not only became oblivious of the environs but made the listeners too share his state. Awakened by his melodious tune, the napping Brahma fell prostrate before him forgetting the decorum, decency etc. In the open assembly at it. 

The gods assembled there burst into laughter that alone brought Brahma to the world real. Feeling humiliated, he cursed them to go to Bhuloka to purify themselves by penance.  They regretted.
