Thiruvaragunamangai Divyadesam - Natham - Sri Vijayasana Perumal Temple Chandra Dhosha Parihara Sthalam
Once a Brahmin undertook a penance here at Varagunamangai chanting "Aasana Mantra". Pleased with his prayers, the Almighty gave him His Darshan here and offerred him Mukthi - Moksham. As the Brahmin attained moksham as a result of his chanting the ‘Aasana Mantra’, the Almighty is being worshipped as "Vijaya Aasana Perumal". Another legend is that once a fisherman, who had cast a net at this Theertham, was bitten by a snake and immediately attained moksham thus reaching the abode of the Lord. Romasa rishi narrated to his son the story of the fisherman attaining moksham referring to his previous life as a king, who had performed harsh acts and hence had to lead the current life as a fisherman. But sincerity in performing all his duties in this life led him to attaining the Lord’s feet. As he attained moksham here, the pushkarini of this temple is said to be sacred. |
