That very stone lies even today serving a better purpose. Standing
upon it, if one soulfully prays to the Lord Pannagabhushana, he will
be relieved of the effects of snake bites. The Lord always protects
the Saranarthas in all possible ways at every moment. Later the boy
made a hole in the wall of the West Gopuram and installed the pipe
into it. It is this hole used now for oath taking.
The liar accepts
the truth, if he is dragged to the place for confession. Though
centuries passed by, the miracle is still in force. So the
Chengannur west Mada has become a nightmare to the bogus people, who
now prefer confession to swearing at that point in that fashion.
"Inscrutable are the ways of God", escapes the lips of any
from among the bystanders. "Curb your rising
insignificance", utters a budding god man, "Emulate that
urchin" sermonizes an evolving Pravakta.
This is yet another
miracle that this miraculous temple is displaying to prove the
authenticity of the mightiest power, instrumental in deciding the
destiny of the insignificant; million trillion billionth fragment of
a proton that man is, before the Himalayan immensity that supreme
Lord is. The 'lists' if open their eyes wide to catch a full glimpse
of Viswarupa of the Lord, it can be presumed, they turn Arjuns to
prostrate and circumambulate the universes times million for the
gift of clear perspective of the Creator and the Creative Force
here, embedded in the images of the Presiding deities of this
matchless much-hallowed miracle temple of Kerala.
