Legend:
There was a brahmin boy living in a village called punya-kosam with his parents.
He was very courteous and good. He wanted to do penance to Sri Vishnu Chanting
the manthra "Aasanadhai".
But Sri Vishnu took the form of an old man and told the
boy If he went to a place called 'Varaguna-Mangai' between Sakyam and Mahendharam hills
that would be the right place to do penance and to chant "Aasanadhai".
The boy took the old man's word as guru's word and went to Vedha-Mangai. He located
a quiet place in Varaguna-mangai and did penance chanting 'Aasanadhai' japam for long years.
Finally the Lord appeared before him and granted the boon of liberation for his soul
and took his abode here as the boy wished.
