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.
