narrated by the LORD (Lord Varaha)to Bhoomi Piratti.This Puranam in the 48th

chapter of Sri Varaha Puranam,

explains and emphasizes the importance of singingLORD Sriman Narayana's glory.

The main incindent is of Nambaduvan being confronted bya Brahma rakshasa. This

Rakshasa used to be a Brahmin by the nameof Soma-Sharma. He committed some

grave mistakes duringa Yagam and was cursed by which he became a Brahma

rakshasa.

On every Kaisika Dwadasi day, Nambaduvan, an ardent devoteeof the Lord used to

sing for THE Lord at Thirukurungudi.

One year while on the way to Thirukurungudi, Nambaduvan wasconfrontated by the

Brahma Rakshasa. The dialogue between the two;(1)how the Rakshasa allows for

Nambaduvan to go to sing for the LORD(2)then come back, for the Rakshasa

(3)After coming back how Nabaduvan saved the Rakhasa from the curse.is detailed in this purana.

After many thousands of years,On a Kaisika dwadasi day Sri Parasara Bhattar

(about 900 yrs ago)chanted the Kaisiki Puranam before Lord Ranganatha(with his

vyakhyanam (explanations).

Lord was immensely pleased and this chantingas rendered by Sri Parasara bhattar

is the tradition in Srirangam.
