TIRUVIL WAMALA - THE SEAT OF RAMA & LAKSHMANA

RAMA APPEARING AS NARASIMHA  

The legend further continues with the episode of a danava who entered the temple disguised as Brahmin and bough havoc on the mild animals with a view to preventing the growing fame of it. It appears the glory of the Lord grew by leaps and bounds in a very short period of installation and adoration of the Mulavirat. With the unprecedented popularity of Lord, there arose doubts that the demon race would be put down or annihilated soon. To desecrate this shrine and thwart further spread of glory, a certain asura came to this place and moved freely in the garb of a pious Brahmin. 

He was not only participating in the ritualistic is programmes, but enjoying feats along with the Brahmins regularly, fed by the temples. Wicked as he was, and intention being foul, he was eating cows and bulls belonging to the devotees living nearby and throwing the bones and horns in a corner. The heap that went on growing roused suspicion among the worriers who lost animals. Frightened people prayed to the Lord for rescuing them from this disaster.
