202. OM SIMHAYA NAMA; [continued]
In Brahmanda purana, procedure adopted by Devas to worship Sri Ahobila Narasimha is explained. This sannidhi is surrounded by nature; but care should be taken not to contaminate and pollute the surrounding. River Bhavanasini is being spoiled by visitors. We see a mandapam opposite Sri Ahobila Narasimha sannidhi. The Sixth Jeer, known as Shashta Parankusa Jeer, some 400 years back, entered a cave in the mandapam to perform aradhana inside. He asked none to follow. Till now he has never emerged out of the cave and it is presumed he is still performing pooja. Such a sacred place is this mandapam. Sri Chenchu Lakshmi Thayar is nearby. Swami Ramanuja also is nearby. Veera is attributed to the Lord here. Thirumangai Alwar says that the sky is lit in red hue by the fire generated by the friction of bamboos. He compares this to the blood smeared when Sri Narasimha killed the demon!
