Again
when troubles shot up in the kingdom of Pandalam by the atrocious
acts a ruthless bandit called Udayan, who bent upon plunder
and pillage rocked the whole country, Dharma Sastha I reappeared and
restored order -by waging a fierce was against Udayam and his
hordes. On fulfilling the humanitarian mission, he entered the
garbha griha and disappeared - reunited with the Supreme. Hence the
sanctity of the shrine that thrills every theist at is
very mention.
As the entire divine drama was enacted in Kerala-the Parasurama
kshetra, he become soon so popular and is worshipped as a living
deity. Every temple of fame, whether Saivate or Vaishnavite, either
ancient or modern reserves a niche of modest dimensions for his
worship. And he is represented and worshipped in different stages of
life is different places.
