The Lord was pleased to agree to fulfill his desire. When the Lord wiped of the troubling demon, Vasishta expressed his desire of establishing his Holiness at his hermitage. A dip at the place washed away all the sins. The place where the Lord after killing the demons washed his chakrayudha, become popular as chakrateertham. Maya sakti rode a horse, and so called as ‘Aswarudhamba’ or ‘Gurralakka’. This river can’t be passed over even Bhetala and the devils. Then the blood stopped by Maya Sakthi from falling on to the ground, was released by her as a reddish river, know as the “Raktakulya”. At last, after a tough fight with the demon, Lord Narahari killed by cutting his hand with chakrayudha, with the same Sudharsana chakra, he killed the demons also. In addition to that he created “Maya Sakthi” to manage stopping the fall of blood drops from Rakta Viliochana body to the ground. The demon-king saw this and throw his weapons one after another at Garuda which could not do any thing against him, as Lord Narahari destroyed them on the way with his Sudarana Chakrayudha. Demons having been thus generated, began hurting garuda who attached them in such a way that they could not with stand him. The soil particles drenched by the blood drops falling on to the ground from his body, produced equal number of demons as strong and vigorous as Raktavilochana. As a result of which blood-shed took place. Lord Narahari could attack and smash them with his only weapon the ‘Sudarsana’ the chakrayudh wounded the sensitive parts of the demon’s body. He shot all types of weapons at the Lord. Raktavilochana heard the thundering noise of the panchajanya and like a cyclone enveloped the Lord and engulfed him to fight with him. Lord Narahari blow the ‘Panchajanya’ inviting the demon to the war. He then prayed to the Lord to descend at his ashram, after killing the demon, so that he would worship him always. Vasishta after singing his glory, appealed about the arrogance of the demon and his cruelty in killing his sons.

The sage by his divine vision, could come to know of what all happened at this hermitage. Arundhati, Vasishta’s wife, wept a lot for the death of her son and prayed to Vasishta who was then at Brahmaloka. The Demon did so, causing an irreparable loss to Arundhati and Vasishta. Sage Viswamitra found opportunity to take Vengeance against sage Vasishta and provoke Rakta-vilochana to kill Vasishta’s hundred sons in his absence. He started harassing the brahmins, the Gods, the saints and the cows and obstructed Yagas and Vedic-recitals. Lord Sankara was astonished at the demon’s uncommon desire, but as per the promise, being impressed of his penance had concerned to his desire. Raktavilochana asked him that the number of sand particles drenched by the blood drops falling from his body on to the ground at war, would produce equal number of Rakshasas as strong and vigorous as himself after and they would assist him at war and become one with him after killing all the enemies. He promised to bless him with Whatever he would desire. Lord sankara was very much pleased with his penance and appeared before him. After some time, Raktavilochana, the son of Hiranyaksha, did tremendous penance for ten thousand years on the banks of Vasishta river, to please Lord Siva and to get his grace. It is the place between the Vasishta river. As that place was made a stage or “Vedik” to perform the Yaga, it was named as “ANTARVEDI”. Lord Brahma, to get freed from the sins he had committed against Lord Sankara, performed Rudrayaga and installed Lord Neela kantheswara there. Sage Vasista, after mingling the Goutami branch of the Godavari into the Sea, established his Ashram there. Once Narada asked Lord Brahma to tell about the historical back-ground of the Antarvedi, Lord Brahma spoke as follows. Suta was pleased to tell the story which was once told by Lord Brahma to Sage Narada.Ĭlick Here to go Official website Narration of Antharvedi Temple
