|| History Of Ugra Narashimha of Moolikapura || Vijayendra theertha Part - 2

After Vijayendra Theertha took the moorties from the well he takes the permission of his guru Sudhindra Theertha, first he goes to gosripuram and does the prathistha of Lord Venkatramana.
Shri Vijayindra Tirtha Swami who gave deeksha to the first Swamiji of Shri Kashi Math Samsthan, he had done the prathistha of Lord Narsimha in the Shree Varaha Devasthan in Varapuzha. However, in a dream the Lord appeared to him and ordained, "Take me to Volalanka (Mulki) and install there. I shall remain calm and fulfill the desires of all the devotees who take shelter under me". Accordingly from Kerala, with a few devotees Shri Swamiji, set out for Mulki by foot. After a few days they reached Padupanambur the capital of the Jain Kings, Savants. From here by foot the journey to Mulki was taking one hour. But by then the dusk fell. Shri Swamiji sent his men to the palace to get light for onward journey. But surprisingly the king refused as the Swamiji did not belong to his faith. Shri Swamiji with a smile said
, "When the very Lord who gives light to all the three worlds is with us why should we worry? Let's continue the journey." When they had hardly crossed outskirts of Padupanambur, the roof of the palace suddenly caught fire and flames touched the sky.
The King and his men could not extinguish the fire at all. In the glare of that light Shri Swamiji completed the journey. On Datta Jayanti Day on 23rd November 1569, Margashira Poornima (the most auspicious month according to Bhagwad Gita) Lord Narsimha was formally installed there.
