Story of Varoodhini and Pravarakhya / Birth of Swarochi
The story of Varoodhini and Pravarakhya is a love story. We can say it as one side love story. The births of king swarochi and Manorama had an interesting background. The theme for this Manu Charitra is a short story from Markandeya Purana. The original story was around 150 poems and Allasani Peddana extended into six chapters with 600 poems by adding fiction and descriptions. It is about second Manu of fourteen manus (fathers of mankind societies according to Hindu mythology), translated into Telugu from Sanskrit by Marana ,disciple of Tikkana.
There is a town named Arunaspadam. A learned Brahmana youth called Paravarakhya lived in the township on the banks of River Varuna who observed Rituals regularly and worshipped ‘Atithis’ or guests, especially those who were learned too. Once, a ‘Siddha’ who had a great knowledge of Mantras and Tantras and an expert of medicinal herbs and plants arrived at Pravara’s place. In fact, Pravara had a longing wish to visit far off places and keen interest with the experiences of the Siddha.
Pravara gave atithyam , did satkaram to him and asked him how he was able to travel so many Divya-kṣhetras at such a young age. The Siddha told him that he had a Divya Pada-lepanam with him which can take him to whatever place he wants to go in no time. The Siddha said that if Pravara desired to visit Himalayas he could close his eyes and straight away he would be there! As Pravara did so, he was transferred to Himalayas instantly and was lost in witnessing the unparalleled vision of the nature beauty. As he was wandering with blissful abandon, he discovered that the coat of the essence from the miracle root pada-lepanam disappeared on his feet vanished and realised that he travelled a lot and far for long time. As the afternoon was almost nearing the evening, he was concerned as to how could he return home since the essence of the miracle root was dried and disappeared from his feet. He was rather concerned that he lost his way in the Himalayas.
Fortunately for him, he found a beautiful damsel on his way and asked her as to why was she moving around all alone in this lonely place and could she please direct him to a place known as Arunapuram. Then she replied that she was Varudhini the daughter of Menaka the Apsara. Pravarakhya replied in the defensive that she was mistaken and genuinely said the story happened with siddha. Varudhini said that she fell in love with him passionately at the moment that she saw him. Pravara replied that he was a traditional and married Brahmana youth with a vow to possess only one wife, performing regular ‘Agni Karmas’ and ‘Vratas’ (Sacred Rituals) and he had to somehow return back home by the evening as the Evening Rituals would be affected and more over his wife and children as also aged parents would be awaiting his return with great concern. So saying, Pravara prayed to Agni Deva and the latter appeared in the form of a Brahmana and by lifting Pravara on his shoulders took Pravara safe instantly to his home.
Meanwhile a Gandharva youth, who rejected several offers to Varudhini for several years now assumed the form of Maya Pravarakhya and came to her when she would as well end up her life!
