Swami Samantabhadra.
* He went to the Shiva temple called 'Bhimalinga' and blessed it; the king was amazed to see his auspicious form and, mistaking him for Shiva, prostrated himself before him; when asked about his religious practices, the king told him about his devotion to Shiva, his adherence to Shiva's teachings, the construction of the temple, and his daily offering of twelve 'khandanga' of rice to the Bhimalinga temple. Samantabhadra, saying, "I will offer this food to Shiva," took his seat in the temple with the food, and ordered everyone to leave, closing the door behind them.

Having attained complete satisfaction, he opened the door. The king was astonished to see that all the food had been consumed. The next day, he offered even better food with even greater devotion, but because his inner fire had been satiated by the previous day's abundant meal, a quarter of the food remained uneaten that day, and on the third day, half the food remained.

1. Regarding how many 'seers' a 'khanduga' is, Shri Nemisagarji, based on a letter from Pandit Shantirajji Shastri of Mysore, has informed us that in the Bangalore region, a 'khanduga' is 200 seers, in the Mysore region, it is 180 seers, in Heggadevanakote, it is 80 seers, and in the Shimoga district, it is 60 seers. The 'seer' is universally 80 'tolas'. It is not known how many seers a 'khanduga' was in Kanchi at that time. It is likely that it was not less than 40 seers.
2. 'Shivarpan' has a deep meaning.
