They lived an old couple named Janu Dave and Mukta. They had only one child, a boy named Puli on whom they lavished all their love and attention. They went through Amen's hardship to ensure that he lacked for nothing. While growing up, Alice such as the publicity of the faith that often the reality turns out very different from our expectations.

If he got married, Puel's parents found a bride for him. However, it was a vain hope, the son's nature will remain the same and he continued his wilful ways. Even after marriage. Eventually, Jono Dev said to his wife, it is clear that our son is not going to mind his ways. We are old and frail. How much longer can we bear the tortures? He inflict on us. It is better that we go away to the holy city of Kazi to spend the rest of our lives there. Who knows? Our absence might even force him to realize his responsibility. When Polek reached home, his wife told him all that had happened in his absence and begged him to bring back his parents. But his only reaction was so what if they have gone? If they don't want to stay with me, let them do whatever they wish for a few days pound. The lake continued his old lifestyle revealing in their new found freedom from his parents nagging. However, he soon faced a financial problem until then his parents had supported him and he had known to no worries on that trend. Initially, he thought his friends would help him.

He tried to seek help from his neighbors, but they all denounced him as a worthless in grade who had tortured his saintly parents and driven them away. No one was ready to hit last puli realized the truth. His parents were the only one who genuinely cared for his welfare. They had undergone countless deprivations to bring them up. Well, had done their best to fulfill all his demands even unreasonable once. And he had repaid them by abusing and ill, treating them so much that they had thought it fit to seek refugee in Khasi. Ple squint with the guilt and shame. He reproached himself bitterly for his callousness. His mind knew no peace until he had decided to go to Ghazi and bring his parents back. His wife gladly agreed to this and they started on their journey for with traveling to Kasi in those days was not as easy as it is today. The long journey had to made on foot. The couple had to cross many dense dark forests spending the night at Bayside best houses. They hoped to reach one's restores by nightfall. Unfortunately, they lost their way and ended up deep inside a forest at sunset. A day long walk had tired them out and it was too dark to see their way. So they decided to spend the night under a tree soon, Poli's wife fast asleep, but he decided to stay awake and watch out for wild animals around midnight. He thought he heard a slight noise. He looked closely in the direction and perceived three shadow figures gliding across the forest path in single file. Was his imagination playing tricks on him. Kelli sat the bowled upright, rubbed his eyes and looked again. No, he had not been mistaken. Indeed. There were three female forms walking straight ahead silently. They seemed to know their way about even in the dark as they walked swiftly without flattering. Who were they, where are they going at? This unearthly hall in the dense jungle, Polek was consumed with the curiosity. He got up and followed them quietly. He could make out the three women wear suit, black and deformed. They walked and reached a clearing little hut in front of the hut sat a sage who seemed to be lost in meditation. The three walked in puk, hide himself behind some bushes and washed them. They set to work, sweeping the courtyard, cleaning and powering it with Cowden. They worked noiselessly without disturbing the sage as they did. So, Polek observed a strange change coming over them before his astonished eyes. The dark deformed woman gradually turned into beautiful dancers whose balls glowed with unearthly radiant as they finished their work and prepared to depart. As quietly as they had entered, they walked out of the courtyard and passed him once he recovered from his first shock, Puli could restrain himself no longer. He jumped out of his hiding place and stood before them startling them. Who are you fat ladies? He demanded tell me, why do you work here at this time? The woman glanced at him and shrank back in utter disgust. You pli the sinner. They exclaimed, move back. Don't have come close. You are very known as polluters. These harsh words were like a slap in Balk's face. He realized that they were no ordinary women but different beings of some sort. He felt a defeat begging for me. Finally, one of them took pity off him and said we are the three Sacker river, Gaga, Yamuna and Saraswati. Each day, millions of sinners like cucumber and bath in our waters to clean themselves off their sins. These sins are transferred to us making us dark and deform to regain our original forms. We come every night to sage Cuckoos Hermitage and serve. But yours is such a heinous sin that you cannot get salvation by bathing in our sacked waters. You know that there is no sin worse than ill treatment of one's parents. They went their way leaving Polek in storm of self loathing. Finally, he consoled himself. Thus, if the rivers that are contaminated with the sins of millions could purify themselves by serving sage Kur surely he has the power to save me terribly sinner though I am he resolved to seek the sage's advice. He returned to the Hermitage where he stood before the sage patiently waiting for him to open his eyes at dawn. The sage's penance finally ended. Poli threw himself at his feet and burst into uncontrollable tears. The sage understood everything by his yogic powers. He raised the bundle up and advised him go and bring back your parents and serve them faithfully. You will be cleansed of your sin. Before long, they overtook nude and Mukta who being old and infirm had not had reached Kai Polek fell at defeat and begged the for forgiveness. The old couple gave gladly. He then took them to Kasi. They were bath in Gaga and offered the prayers. Later, they traveled south and settled down in Pandal. From then known Polich was a new man a owning his sinful pursuits. He devoted himself totally to the service of his parents. He did not allow them to work but himself locked to support the family. He left no stone unturned to Ania with their comfort. Although his earnings were mere not less, the family lived in peace and happy. One afternoon, Puli was busy massaging his father's feet. As the latter lay asleep. Poli came a call from the open doorway. He turned around to behold a most wondrous spectacle. There in his doorway stood none other than Lord Krishna himself in all his luminous glory. Polek could not believe his eyes. He stared at the divine vision. Dumbfounded. Aren't you going to invite me in? Puli asked Lord Krishna softly. It was only that Puig was jerked back to his senses. He remembered his duty to his father speaking in an undertone so as not to rouse him. He said, please commend my Lord. I am indeed fortunate to have beheld you. Please forgive me for not rising to welcome you. Offer a seat. As you can see, I'm massaging my father's feet. If I stopped, he would wake up. I do not wish to disturb a sleep. Pundit looked about him for a seat to offer Krishna, but it was a poor man's dwelling bar of all furniture. Suddenly his eyes fell on a loose brick line next to the wall with his free hand. He pushed it towards Krishna and motion him to stand on it. I apologize for not having anything better to offer you. My Lord Krishna only smiled as he stepped onto the brick and stood with his hands on his head. Then Lord Krishna said, Puli, I'm pleased with you. Your selfless devotion to your parents is indeed prize worthy. Tell me what boon do you deserve from me? Puli humbly bowed to the Lord and said my Lord grant only that you stay here forever so that my family members and all other people may see and worship you so be it said Lord Krishna. The next instant he vanished in his place, stood a beautiful image of him standing in the same post in which Puli had seen him with his hands on his hips. Great was the joy of Puig's family members.

And before long, all the people of the panda pur and nearby areas were beating apart to Pulis to to get a diction of Lord Krishna. A temple later came upon the sanctified spot. The deity came to be known as Viala, meaning standing on the brick. He continues to stand there to this day with his hands on his hips. 1000 flock to pandas.
