“Dhittamaina silpalu, devalalu,
Kattukadhala, chitrangi kanaka medalu.
Kottukoni poyi vunna koti lingalu,
Veeresalingam okadu migilenu chaalu”
(Magnificent sculptures and temples,
Golden Roofs of the story teller Chitrangi,
Crore Shiva lingas washed away,
Veeeresalingam left alone is enough).
So go the lines of this Telugu song from the movie Andhra Kesari, a biopic on Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu. The song pays a tribute to the city of Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh, located on the banks of the Godavari. What I have given is a rather approximate translation of those lines, and may not really capture the true essence. But it is the last two lines that really are worth a look at “Kottukoni poyi vunna koti lingalu, Veeresalingam okadu migilenu chaalu. As per the Brahmanda Purana, the Gods once conducted a Yagna here to propitiate Shakti, and they cut off their own body parts to sacrifice as offerings. Pleased with their devotion, Shakti emerged with a radiance of a crore( Koti) suns and the effluence of a crore moons, and one crore(Koti) lingas emerged here. In due course of time, those Koti Lingas were believed to have been washed away by the Godavari. The lines basically stress the fact, that one Veeresalingam was equivalent to all those Shivalingas washed away.
