Background

Meaning

Once Appa came to the famous sanctum of Koppara (previously it was called as Karpara Kshetra).Here Sri Ashwath Narasimhadevaru is very promising ­ Jaagruta. In front of Sri Narasimhadevaru Appa saw a stone Mantapa.There Appa found a Vrushabha(Basavanna). Appa’s memory went back and felt that this Vrushabha was none but Arjuna and SriMadacharya was none but Sri Bheemasena. This Vrushabha was listening the teachings of SriMadacharya prior to the janma of Sri Jaiteertharu all that scene came to the mind and heart of Appa after seeing the Vrushabha in Koppara. Sacred Krishna river’s bank attracted Appa to stay and perform Anushthana for a few days. In Koppara the daughter of the Archaka Narasamma she did not have Santana for a long time. Daily Narasamma was indulged in the seva of Sri Ashwath Narasimhadevaru. After the seva daily Narasamma was doing Namaskara with devotion to Appa. Once Archaka noticed this and said to his daughter Narasamma do the Namaskara to God and not to this uncultured ordinary villager.

Next day as usual Narasamma after the seva bowed to Appa. Along with Narasamma the Archaka also bowed to Appa.After the Namaskara the Archaka and Narasamma saw a huge serpent with open hood in place of Appa. Archaka and Narasamma frightened and trembled. Requested to excuse his blunder. Immediately Appa took his Roopa and said, Archaka I am ordinary uncultured villager, why do you respect me and regard me. After hearing the wordings Archaka came to know that Appa is a great Aparokshagnyani.

Then Appa asked Narasamma to receive two coconuts. While receiving the coconuts she could not hold and receive the first coconut properly. But Narasamma received the second coconut properly. Appa said you have two Santana phalas, the first Santana will not remain, but the second Santana will shine and perform the pooja of Sri Narasimhadevaru in Koppara and in future the sacred pooja will be continued by the second Santana of Narasamma.Tha second Santana was Sri Bheemasenacharya Archaka his Santana continued the Archaka vrutti.

Dear devotees we are really surprised to know the sacred and the noble personality of Ibharamapura’s Appa. All our Yatis, Gnyanis stress the parayana of Sudha and Parimala.What a great achievement and Siddhi in life Appa had obtained by the parayana of Sudha and Parimala. Koppara Sri Narasimhadevaru’s Archakas are greatly blessed by Appa. Sri Giriyacharya the great grand son’s son of  Sri Bheemasenacharya has written with the Ankita of KarparaNarasimha as below:
