Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 SrImatE VEnkatESAYa namah. Dear BhAgavtas, My praNAmams to all of you.The term EkAngI used by SrImAn Mohan Sagar and SrImAn T A Varadan reminds me of an incident in the history.I read this in the serial "Tirumala samayAchAramulu", translation of an old Tamil(MaNi pravALa) text into Telugu by SrImAn N.C.V.Narasimhacharya swAmi of Tirupati and published in the TTD monthly "saptagiri".The things I remeber are as follows. Once Tirupati was under attack by Muslim invaders.SadASiva rAyalu was Vijayanagara king at that time.His army could not fight with the invaders and the king was worried a lot about the safety of the holy places.TiruvEngadamudaiyAn appeared in his dream(lucky fellow) and ordered him to send his army under the leadership of narasimha JIyar, who was the EkAngi VaishNava in the JIyangAr mutt of Tirupati and an upAsaka of narasimha mantra.He was borne in a palanquin by the soldiers and was given a sword to fight(nAm kE vAstE).Soon the commander of the rival army dreamt that all his soldiers were slain by a lion-faced sAdhu.Dreaded by this, he retreated alongwith his army.
