MOTHER RAJARAJESWARI OF CHOTTANIKARA

Asking her to wait near the house, he went inside to hand over a holy book to his guru. He expressed his anxiety to go soon to keep up the word given to his chance companion. The guru being a highly learned scholar asked explanation, and after seeing the waiting woman in the verandhah of his house, he explained the dangerous position he was in. He advised him to run forthwith to Chottanikara shrine and fall at the feet of MOTHER Rajarajeswari, who alone could release him from the clutches of that terrible yakshi in the garb of a ravishing female. 

Accordingly he started running towards Chottanikara temple. The yakshi too followed him running. As advised the artless Nambadri placing one foot into the temple dropped behind the chanted wet cloth given by his guru for protection.  But the yakshi caught hold of him by the other leg and used its might to pull him out for devouring instantly. Falling down, he uttered 'Amme Narayana' loudly.
