Kali, Laxmi, and Saraswati combined all their strengths and
created a beautiful girl who was to merge with Vishnu after acquiring
spiritual enlighten on earth. She was born as Vaishnavi. Her father
advised her to begin her quest for gaining even more divine strength. She
went to the forest to meditate. Vaishnavi was elated to discover that
Vishnu had appeared as Rama on earth. She met him on his way to
Lanka, and requested him to accept her. Rama promised but only if she
recognised him the next time he arrived at hermitage. The next time Rama
appeared as an old man. Vaishnavi failed to recognize him. Rama urged her
to go north and immerse herself in more meditation. Once, disturbed in
her meditation, Vaishnavi, transformed herself into a ten-handed goddess
with trident in one hand riding a tiger and beheaded the person. Tired of
the many obstacles she ultimately changed herself into three rocks. |
