ADVICE GIVEN BY SREE PARAMESWARA

All-wise Saghatavar, a famous sage, lived by himself in a hermitage in the lovely woodland next to the Gomati River. He was devastated to see that his kid Viswakethu had all the negative traits. The sage expelled his son from the hermitage because of the transgressions he had committed. Another section of the world was experiencing a tragic drama at the same time. Keyoori, the sole child of Mahishasura clan member Vikalasuran, was strolling around the garden picking flowers when she met a handsome young man and fell in love with him. Without anybody else knowing,the princess married the young guy, not knowing that he was a Gandharva. However, Vikalasuran quickly learnt of Keyoori and the Gandharva's connection and, in a fit of rage, killed the Gandharva. Keyoori, who had brought shame upon the Asura clan, was restrained and abandoned in the woods.

AROUND SIVA: KOOLIVAKA AND HIS STAY IN THE FOREST

Mahadeva and Sree Parvathi adopted the personas of sages in order to explore the world as pilgrims. After passing through forests where the trees and plants had dried up from a lack of rain, they arrived at a forest called Koolikundan. The king of the foresters known as the Mala Aryans, Marathan, welcomed the pilgrims and escorted them to his palace. Then he instructed them to construct a hermitage next to the Kooliyar (Kooli River) and stay there for a while. Accepting Marathan's invitation, they made the decision to stay. Koolivaka was the name of Marathan's lovely young daughter. She had the beauty of one of the damsels of the Devas because she was endowed with all the qualities of youth. By chance, Koolivaka was bathing in the river at night under the full moon when Sree Parameshwaran noticed her. Sree Parameshwaran was struck by desire as he gazed upon the lovely girl with all of her alluring characteristics and asked her if he may spend some time alone with her in that lovely setting. The maiden was puzzled by this request. In order to keep her virginity, she said, she was having her monthly period.

THE INCARNATION OF LORD CHATHAN

Chathan Swami was born to Sree Parvathy after three and a fourth Nazhika (a unit of time, where one Nazhika is equivalent to 24 minutes) of pregnancy. The Goddess then revealed what had occurred to Koolivaka, one of her followers. She then granted Koolivaka the charge of rearing the child and handed the mark and decorations of Kailas to the infant. Koolivaka, who was still a virgin, began to produce milk from her breasts by God's grace.With the aid of the forest maiden's milk, Chathan grew into a brilliant young man. There was a wild bison that posed a threat to the local foresters as well as the other animals. It eventually arrived to attack Koolivaka as well. Chathan made the decision to manage the bison that had assaulted his foster mother with the help of his friend Karineelapetta Karimkutty.

SREE CHATHAN'S JOURNEY TO KAILAS, KUKSHI SASTHAVU

The personification of wrath, Bhrumgasura, the son of Siva, who had received the blessing from Brahma that he should not be killed by any weapon, was to be killed by the incarnation, also known as Kukshi Shasthavu in Sanskrit and Kuttichathan in Malayalam. He met Sage Narada while riding his bison through the forest, playing his favourite musical instrument, the Eezhaara, and admiring the beauty of the surroundings. Sage Narada was holding the veena.Chathan learnt from the sage that his purpose in life was to murder Bhrumgasura. Chathan soon left for Kailasam after receiving his foster mother's approval. He quickly arrived at Kailaasam while riding his bison thanks to his supernatural abilities. He used his Maya to transform into Vishnu and bowed down to Parameshwara, who was surrounded by his Bhootaganas followers. When Paramashiva awoke from his meditation slumber, he blessed him by placing his palms on his head and making him sit on his lap. Then, Lord Shiva declared that he would also be known as Vishnumaya because he had taken the shape of Vishnu with his Maya.
