Vishnu thus sanctifies this place in 12 forms.
At the beginning of srishti 11 Rudras came from the forehead
of Brahma. They were very powerful but filled with thamoguna. Manyu, Manu,
Mahaneechan, Mahadevan, Shivan, Rudathdvajan, Ugrarethas, Bhavan, Kaalan, Vaamadevan and Druthavrathan were the 11
Rudras. They used to hit all beings from all sides. Brahma called them all and spoke to them “
You are all called Shankara. You have been created for the welfare of all
beings. May you all protect the cows May you all surrender at the feet of
Vishnu and get rid of your tamas.
Shiva came to Chozhadesha and specifically to
Thiruvenkaadu. He prayed to NaraNarayana there. Vishnu gave darshan to the 11
Ruidras. NaraNarayana made the 4 Vedas his 4 horses, made Omkara his chariot
and came there. Hence this kshetra is called ThenBadari. As the 11 Rudras
worshipped Vishnu the latter took
11forms separately. Hence it became Dwadashaksehtram. The foremost one
is ThiruNangur.
Those who take bath in this Rudrateertham will be relieved
of mental sickness. Those who cannot see North Badarikashrama can see the Lord
here.
