Product Info
Virupa was a ninth century follower of the teachings of the Dakini Vajravarahi. Virupa resided in the eastern Indian monastery of Somapuri for twenty – four years before being ejected for eating the monastery’s pigeons. Virupa proceeded to wander the land, performing miracles and receiving sustenance where and when it was to be found. Virupa was angered by the river goddess, Ganga Devi, when she refused him food and drink and he parted her waters and crossed to the other side, entering the town of Kanasata. The yogin found a tavern and was given food and wine by the barmaid; Virupa enjoyed it enourmously and demanded more. When the barmaid asked for payment, Virupa pledged her sun by arresting its motion and continued drinking for days, consuming five hundred elephant loads of spirits. The country was thrown into confusion by the effects of these endless days and the King of Kanasata had no solution to offer. Eventually, he was visited in a dream by the Sun Goddess herself; she informed him that she was bound in her position as the result of a debt to a barmaid. The King paid the bill, Virupa disappeared, and the sun continued its course.
