Thondar Uhakkum Ni Thunai Adi Vaazhi

Dear Narayana Bakthas 

One authentic version regarding Shri Rohit Iyer's query is that when Adi
Sankara Bhagavat Padaal visited Srinagar (Kashmir), he asked one of his
disciples to bring from the Pooja Room the Lalitha Sahasranamam for writing
Bashyam. The disciple brought Vishnu Sahasranamam. Adi Sankara chided the
disciple and asked him to bring Lalitha Sahasranamam. Again, the disciple
brought the Vishnu Sahasranamam. When Adi Sankara enquired as to the reason
for bringing Vishnu Sahasranamam instead of Lalitha Sahasranamam, the
disciple replied that when he wanted to take Lalitha Sahasranamam, a
kanyasthri was directing me to take Vishnu Sahasranamam only. Adi Sankara
realised that it was the will of Goddess that he should write Bashyam only
for Vishnu Sahasranamam.

If any one differs from this view, I may be enlightened.
