|| Shri Hari: || S.G. Shri Satanand Muni Virchit Volume-1 Chapter-49 | Suvrat Muni continued, "Shree Hari continued His journey southward alone. He visited the shrine of AdiKurm before arriving in the city Manaspur on the way to Rameshwar. The devout king of Manaspur, Satradharma, greeted Varni with due reverence and invited Him to stay in his city for some days. Varni chose a solitary dais under a tree at the edge of the garden to stay. The king placed a few of his servants at Varni's disposal. Some of the fake Sidhhas had taken undue advantage of King Satradharma's hospitality after running away from Jagannath Puri. They recognised Varni and devised a plan to kill Him. They started the bombardment of stones and rocks at Shree Hari at the nightfall. They even used slings to toss larger rocks. They continued this bombardment until morning although none of the stones landed on Shree Hari. They formed a protective wall around the dais on which He was sleeping. When the king and his subjects saw this miracle the next morning, they all thought that just as Lord Nrusinh had protected His devotee Prahalad, God has protected another one of His devotees today. The king was very impressed by this miracle and his devotion towards Varni became even more firm. The Asuras did not mend their ways even after seeing such a miracle. They did not forsake their enmity with Shree Hari as death was calling them. They started to collect sharp lethal weapons as the next line of attack. When the king realised that these Sidhhas were responsible for the attack on Varni and were still planning for more attacks, he sent his soldiers to kill all of them. The king realised that it was his duty as a king to stop sinners in their track. Nilkanth Varni gave the king and many other devout persons the knowledge of His true identity as the supreme God before leaving Manaspur. Shree Hari visited the mountain shrine of Venkatadri for the Darshan of Lord Vishnu. He visited ShivKanchi and VishnuKanchi for the Darshan of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu respectively before arriving at ShreeRangam. Shree Hari made His residence in an orchard on the east banks of River Kaveri following the holy dip in the holy river. He stayed there for two months, inviting resident scholars and engaging them in the debates in wide ranging topics to remove many of their misconceptions and ignorance. He resisted the use of black magic by some atheists to show that true devotees neither need the help nor be afraid of black magic on the path of true devotion. Shree Hari arrived at Setubandh (Rameshwar) for the Darshan of Rameshwar Mahadev. Nilkanth Varni stayed there for two months amongst many ascetics. Varni visited the shrine of Lord Vishnu called SundarRaj before proceeding on the way to the shrine called BhutPuri. On his journey, He lost His way in a dense forest and did not get anything to eat or drink for four days. On the fifth day, He saw a lake where He bathed and worshipped the Shaalgram. He managed with just four pods of wild berries which He ate after offering it as a Naivedhya to Shaalgram. The next morning, Varni proceeded forward and reached a well full of water at noon. He drew water from the well for a bath and completed His daily morning routine. A couple in the garb of rag pickers riding a bull were watching Varni's activities from a distance. Shree Hari placed Shaalgram in a dish and poured the water from His Kamandal.
