Chapter 4
MarKanDeyaa then lived in TuLasivanam with vegetables, roots and
fruits as food and without salt. MdhusUdhanan knew what he wanted and
after a thousand years, he said to Lakshmi " He Devi! Take the form
of a little girl and go to TuLasIvanam and live as his daughter for
some time. After a while, I will come there to bless the Rishi and
will live there till the end of the Brahmakalapam for the welfare of
the world."
Lakshmi Devi agreed and appeared as an exquisite little girl with
beautiful eyes, long arms, a comely countenance like that of the moon,
a smile that resembled the shanbaga flower and shiny cheeks . She was
adorned with fragrant sandalwood paste and beautiful jewels, a
gorgeous dress, and a grand Tilakam. She seemed to be just two years
old and the surprised and delighted MarkanDeya called out to her to
come to him. " Who are you? And who are your parents?" he asked.
"I don't know why I came here" said the fair girl. "You are my
father, mother and kith and kin". So saying, she climbed on to the
Rishi's lap. Rishi was overjoyed and named her "Bhoomi" since she was
born near the TuLasi plant out of the Earth. It was as if a poor man
in extreme poverty had come upon permanent wealth.
Thus, the sacred Piratti who purifies all the Lokas became
MarkanDeya's daughter!
