Greatness Of Temple
Lord Krishna is praised as Pandava
Dhootha Perumal as He played envoy to Pandava brothers. He is mentioned as Dhoodha Hari in the
epigraphs here. He also granted vision
and darshan to blind king Dritharashtra in this place. Vaishnavite Acharya Arulala Perumal
Emperumanar, also called Yajnamurthy visited here, held a debate with Sri
Ramanuja and surrendered to him after 18 days.
Acharya Manavala Mamunigal also had visited this place.
Rohini Devi worshipped Lord Krishna
here and had the hands of Moon-Chandra in marriage here. Of the 27 star Devis, Moon wedded Rohini with
Jnana Sakthi (wisdom powers) followed by Kruthika with Agni powers. He married other Devis later. It is said that Rohini is still worshipping
Lord Krishna formlessly who granted wisdom powers to her
Temple History
During His avatar as Lord Krishna, He
went to Duryodhana as the envoy of Pandavas to get at least five houses for
them. Lord Krishna was the unconquerable
strength for the Pandavas. Duryodhana
plotted to humiliate and kill Lord Krishna during His visit. He made a deep pit, placed boxers underneath,
covered the pit with fine carpets and placed a chair. When Krishna arrived at his palace and sat on
the seat, as expected, he fell into the pit but took His vishwarupa, knocked
down the boxers.
After many years of the end of the
Kurukshetra war, king Janamejaya came to Sage Vaisampayana to hear the glory of
the Bharatha story and Lord Krishna. The
king asked the sage to suggest him a way to have the Vishwarupa darshan of the
Lord as he appeared sitting on the pit made by Duryodhana. As advised by the sage, Janamejaya bathed in
the sacred spring and performed penance here.
Lord rewarded the king with His darshan in this place as the envoy of
the Pandavas
