223. OM SURARIGNE NAMA:
Some years back to visit Sri Pavana Narasimha, Sri Malola Narasimha, Sri Jwala Narasimha sannidhis and Prahalada padi, one had to travel in very difficult terrain. Now, thanks to the present Jeer of Sri Ahobila mutt, Sri Lakshminrusimha Divya paduka sevaka Sri Vansatakopa Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesika, many bridges and approach roads have been constructed, making travel easier. Sri Thayar in Upper Ahobilam is Sri Chenchulakshmi Thayar. She appeared in Chenchu community, known for hunting. In Puranas it is said that Sri Chenchulakshmi Thayar loved the Lord Sri Ahobilesa and married Him. She meditated in a very peaceful place and it is called Sri Chenchulakshmi Thayar cave. This is very near Sri Pavana Narasimha sannidhi. The Sixth Jeer of Sri Ahobila mutt entered a cave near Sri Ahobila Narasimha sannidhi, and disappeared. It is believed that even now he is performing pooja to Sri Narasimha inside the cave. The next Jeer, Seventh Jeer, had composed a drama Sri Vasantika parinayam [श्री वासंतिका परिणयम ] in Sanskrit, describing the marriage of Sri Chenchulakshmi Thayar with Sri Ahobilesa. Sri Vasantika is another name of Sri Thayar. One of the maid servants of Sri Thayar in Vaikuntam, wanted to marry the Lord and expressed her desire to Sri Thayar, Who asked her to be born in Chenchu community in Ahobilam. The Lord as Sri Ahobilesa, King of Ahobilam, was in the hill forest, hunting and He met Sri Chenchulakshmi and fell in love with her. With the consent of her parents, He married her. The place where she meditated is near Sri Pavana Narasimha sannidhi. Entrance is like a cave; but after entering we reach a vast hall, where we can sit and meditate, and receive her blessings.
