Alaghu Mallari Krishna Swamy Temple - Mannarpolur
- According to the legends, Lord Sri Krishna defeated Jambavantha in this place. Then married Jambavantha's daughter Jambavathi.
It is mentioned in Brahmanda Purana that Lord Sri Krishna fought with Jambavantha for 28 days.
The only temple where Sri
Krishna along with his consorts Sathyabhama and Jambhavathi ammavaru are giving
darshan.
According to the
"Sthalapuranam," those devotees who to pray Lord Krishna here to
fulfill their desires will be given all sorts of divine things with health, wealth,
and saturation.
One day King Satrajithu
having adorned the Samanthakamani Jewel
entered the meeting hall of Sri Krishna and at that time a section of people
belonging to the Yaadava Community informed the arrival of Satrajithu predicting
that some divine messenger/ Ambassador from Haven came to the meeting hall.
When King Satrajithu wished (Offered Pranamams) to Sri Krishna, Lord Sri
Krishna requested Satrajithu to give the Samanthakamani jewel for the welfare
of and in the interests of mankind in his kingdom. King Satrajithu refused to
give the Samanthakamani to Sri Krishna walked out from the meeting hall of Sri
Krishna and went to his kingdom.
The brother of King
Satrajithu by the name of Prasenudu went to the forest for hunting purposes
adorning the Samanthakamani brought by King Satrajithu. During the hunting, King
Prasenudu was killed by one Lion.
There was a
misunderstanding by King Satrajithu that Lord Krishna had killed his brother
for the Samanthakamani jewel.
Lord Krishna having heard of the above blamed
for no fault of his, regretted the same but consoled himself that the blame
would have thrown up on him as He viewed the fourth day Moon
(ChavithiChandrudu) during Gosamrakshana (caretaking of cows) when he was at
Brundavanam.
The very next day lord
Krishna performed VinayakaVrathakalpam to eradicate the above blame, besides
proceeding to a thick forest to detect the real reason for the death of
Prasenudu.
Jambhavantha refused to give the Samanthakamani jewel when Lord Krishna asked for it to benefit and serve the interests of all people. He did not realize that Lord Krishna was the previous Srirama, who had been preparing for a 21-day battle (combat/Malla fight) with Lord Krishna. After 21 days of nonstop fighting, Jambhavanthudu surrendered before Lord Krishna, touching his seat, realizing that his opponent, Avathar, was not just any ordinary human but rather a divine personality. At that moment, Lord Krishna appeared as Kodandapani with Seetha Lakshmana Samitha, as Jambhavanthudu had desired, and gave saturation.
Once Jambhavantha realized his mistake, he offered
Lord Krishna the Samantakamani diamond and his daughter Jamabavathi to marry.
As a war took place in
this area it was called as Mallahariporur in previous days and in practice it
became famous as Mannarpolur.
