KARPASAA MAHALAKSHMI (PATTHI KKOLLI NACCHIYAR)

Two desciples of RAMAUJA, Yagneswara and Varada Charya lived in a village ASTASAHASRAM. Yagneswara was rich, while Varada charya was poor. Once RAMANUJA came here. He sent message to Yagneswara, for athidhyam. Yagneswara was proud that SWAMY will come to him. But he ignored the messengers. This hurt BHAGAVAN and he decided to visi Varada charya instead. Varada charya was not at home and his wife KARPASA MAHALAKSHMI received the swamigal. But she had no money to treat them. But BHAGAVAD RAMANUJA is rare. saakshath VISHNU and to treat him is a blessing. She remembered earlier one merchant in the village, was lusting her and offered anything she will want. She knows her husband can not bring alms for that large shishyas. She weighed her chastity of her physical body versus BHAGAVAN's mercy. Karpassa Mahalakshmi was rare.

She agreed to the merchant for that day's hosting of RAMANUJA in exchange of her SEELAM. The merchant gladly gave all necessary food and cloths for SWAMI and sishyas. Later in night she along with her husband (who ratified her deed) took SREE PADA Teertham to the merchant and gave a little before he touched her. RAMANUJA has inner concious to know the sacrifice. The merchant after swaloowing first gulp of teertham realised, what he was asking is from a MOTHER. At once he feel on feet of HER calling as MOTHER for give your child. He also begged pardon from his SIN to Ramanuja and also Varada Charya. Karpasa Mahalakshmi became Patthikkoli Nacchiyar. RAMANUJA ANUGRAHAM puts ALL in the rightuous path.
