After uttering these words, the Sanyasi disappeared. The Sanyasi further stated that since the Child had a gold chain around his neck, he shall be called Manikanda and when the child completed twelve years, the King would know his divine history. While the King was engrossed in his thoughts, a Sanyasi (hermit) appeared before him and told the King that he need not be afraid of the child and to take him to the Palace and that the child belonged to Kshatriya dynasty capable of mitigating all sufferings. There he saw a beautiful and brightly-lit child kicking its legs and crying out, and was in a dilemma whether to take the child to that Palace or leave it there itself. Surprised, he went round and reached the banks of River Pampa. After the hunting was over, King Rajasekara advised his men to take rest and sat there entertaining himself with the sight of the natural greenish beauty and the water-falls of the forest.Īt that time, he heard a child crying from somewhere in the forest. He started hunting courageously in the dense forest which was a sanctuary for many wild animals. While the Queen who was a staunch Lord Vishnu devotee prayed to him.One day King Rajasekara went for hunting in the forest adjoining the banks of river Pamba, along with his men. The King who was an ardent Lord Shiva devotee used to pray to the Lord for a Son. The King and The Queen they themselves were in a world of grief coz of not having any little on e to love and take care of. His ambitious Diwan (Prime Minister) however was happy as long as no heir to the throne When King Rajashekara dies the kingdom will certainly become his. If there is no heir to the throne what will become of them when their king dies. King Rajashekhara, The Wealthy Ruler of Panthalam in Kerala, had no children. Lord Siva adorned the child’s neck with a golden chain and ordered that the child be entrusted to the care of his childless disciple, king Rajasekara of Pandalam. When Vishnu appeared thus, Shiva was overcome with passion, and united with “her” Their union resulted in the birth of a handsome child. Shiva asked if he too could see Vishnu in this female form. Vishnu found Shiva and explained the whole affair to him. With this act, Basmasura was reduced to ashes. So Vishnu instructed Basmasura to hold his hand over his head, and vow fidelity. When Basmasura saw Vishnu in this form, he was bewitched by her beauty. Vishnu became aware of the events, and decided that he would take the female form Mohini, “the Enchanting”, and try to trump the asura’s powers. He hid himself in a certain tree as Basmasura ran here and there searching for the god. No sooner had Shiva granted this, than Basmasura ran after the god, threatening to turn him to ashes. So Basmasura asked for the ability to burn to ashes anything which he placed his hand over. Meanwhile, the asura Basmasura had so pleased lord Shiva with his austerities that Shiva gave him a boon of anything he wished. Lord Brahma gave the boon and Mahishi went to Devaloka and started harassing the Devas. Mahishi asked Lord Brahma to bless her with a boon by which nobody, except the son created out of the union of Hari and Haran, (Vishnu and Siva) would be able to kill her. Lord Brahma appeared and offered to confer on Mahishi any boon except that of immortality. Chandikadevi set out on her mission and killed Mahishasura in a duel, on the earth.Mahishi, daughter of Karamba, brother of Ramban undertook a severe penance towards god in order to take revenge on the Devas, who were responsible for the death of her brother. The Devas,seeing the atrocities committed by Mahishasura came to the conclusion that only a divine power could kill him and approached Chandikadevi pleading to put an end to Mahishasura who was misusing the boon given by Lord Brahma. Fearing his wrath, people ran away to far away places. Mahishasura, armed with this boon, began to commit atrocities and murders on the earth and terrorized people. Mahishasura asked Lord Brahma to give him a boon by which nobody in the earth would be able to kill him, and Lord Brahma conferred the Boon on him. Lord Brahma tried every tactics to stop his Dhavam, but having failed in his attempts, appeared before the Asura and asked him what boon he wanted, from him. Mahishasura, Son of Ramban, undertook a severe penance (Dhavam) towards God. Leela was reborn as Mahishi, daughter of Karamba, brother of Ramban. Finally Madhava cursed her to become a she buffelo with devilish disposal. After several years of married life, Madhavan felt that it was time for them to renounce worldly pleasures and turn entirely to spiritual ways. They were very devout and in deep love for each other. Leela and her husband Madhava were both children of learned Brahmins.
