Again Lotus flower and Pundarika Rishi

Pundarika Rishi was a sishya of Narada Maharishi, he was in the habbit of plucking Lotus flowers when ever he came across any tank filled with Lotus flowers and offered them to Narayana, he thus came to be known as Pundarika. After worshipping Bhuvaraha Perumal in Srimushnam he went to Thillai Thiruchitrakutam where he plucked 100 lotus flowers but he could not find Lord Narayana any where near the Theertham. he was worried that the flowers may wither with the passage of time and so he prayed to the Lord to rush to his rescue as he had  helped Gajendra. Lo behold the Lord did appear before him with four hands in a lying down pose on Adhisesha  in what is called Bhoga sayana pose and he was adorning the garland of the 100 lotus flowers. Pundarika Rishi was overjoyed and prayed to Lord to continue to stay there and bless all the people who come to this holy place thence forth came to be known as Pundarika puram, tayar would be known as Pundarika valli and the Pushkarini full of lotus flowers would be pundarika puskarini.
