The Lord told the King that he could construct a temple at Sabarimala, north of the holy river Pampa and install His deity there. I am always accessible to 'bhakthi' and only 'bhakthi ". All those who are and would be born in your family shall have my blessings unfailingly.

To the King who is by now mentally cleansed and completely immersed in 'bhakthi', Lord Ayyappa told: " I am to free you from all worldly sorrows & worries and to grant you 'moksha'. These words of the Lord are contained in ‘Bhuthanathageetha’, which is in the form of conversation between Him and His foster-father. Kindly continue to be the savior of my family and stay eternally in my kingdom.” Manikantan then enlightened the King on the path of attainment of 'moksha'. The Lord lovingly embraced the King who continued to pray: " Lord, kindly bless me by freeing me from my egos and the worldly life of birth and rebirth and grant me ' moksha’ (salvation). He repented he could not fully visualize the truth of the divine powers of the Lord and repeatedly requested Him to forgive him for behaving as if He were his son only. However, Manikantan was now determined to leave the place.įilled with emotions of happiness, grief, fear, wonder and 'bhakthi' (devotion to God) and self-surrender, the king stood praying for the mercy and blessings of Manikantan. They were convinced of His divine origins, and prayed to Him to be with them for their own salvation and for the safety of the kingdom. They and others now knew that Manikantan was no ordinary being. The schemers were frightened into confessing their nefarious plot. Despite the worried protestations of his foster-father, he set out for the fearful forests.ĭays later Manikantan entered the palace precincts riding a fierce leopard and followed by a pack of its cubs. However, the youthful and valiant Manikantan stepped forth and volunteered to fetch the milk. He knew that none could be deputed for a mission that was so patently suicidal. The Rani pretended to be afflicted with severe pain in the stomach, and the physician prescribed the milk of a leopard as the only cure for the ache. They bribed the royal physician into becoming an accomplice of theirs.
They conspired between them to get rid of Manikantan by hook or crook. The Minister made the innocent Queen believe that adverse consequences would befall her if Manikantan was crowned Yuvaraja and that the kingdom actually belonged to her son. The King's corrupt Minister had had a deep dislike for Manikantan.
The King regarded Manikantan as his elder son. Manikantan was given proper education and training and he grew into a boy well versed in academic lore and martial arts of the time.Meanwhile the Rani gave birth to a son. He accepted the child as God's gracious response to his fervent prayer for an heir to his throne. The King, though pious, charitable, just, and God-fearing had no children. Mythology has it that Manikantan was Ayyappan, born of Hari and Hara. The beautiful baby with radiant face wore a bead ('mani') around his neck.
He moved in the direction of the voice to find a resplendent infant there. During one of his hunting expeditions, the Raja was puzzled to hear the wails of a child on the banks of the river Pampa. At that time, Raja Rajasekhara ruled the kingdom of Pandalam. The most popular and widely accepted story goes to say that Lord Ayyappa had had His human sojourn as the son of the Raja(King) of Pandalam. * At the end of His life in Pandalam, He vanished into the forests and is ever since worshiped at the Sabarimala temple. * He protected the King and the kingdom from the attacks of enemies. * He had had super-human or divine knowledge, wisdom, and courage and had great liking for the King and his people. * All stories confirm that Ayyappa lived in the Pandalam Palace as the son / savior of the King. However, there are a few events which are common in all the stories and which can stand historical scrutiny. These differ from one to another depending on the imaginations of the narrator and inherent variations due to the passing down of the stories from generation to generation. In fact, there are very many popular stories associated with Him among the devotees. Information on the life and teachings of the Lord are mostly based on legends. Lord Ayyappa is the presiding deity of Sabarimala temple.
