Durvasa

Sage Durvasa, who cursed two vidyadharas stated that, "The curse cannot be lifted by any act except that of circumambulating the Arunachala Hill." He then proceeded to relate what Siva Himself had declared in an assembly of devas and others: "He who circumambulates with devotion the Arunachala Hill which is my form, attains a form like mine. He becomes the Lord of the entire world and reaches the highest state". The two vidyadharas then advised King Vajrangada who was suffering, "The Lord of Aruna Hill is a repository of compassion and His glory is great. Circumambulate the Aruna Hill on foot as a means of release from suffering".
