At that time, Kashi was totally occupied by the mlecchas. Desperate Lakshmana Bhatta escaped along with his wife. With great difficulty he reached the Subrahmanya forest. He stayed in that dreadful and desolate forest with anxiety. Under a Vahni tree there, his wife gave birth to a baby who shone like Agnideva. Bhagavan Vaishvanara was born on this earth (in the form of that child) on the eleventh day from the full moon day in the Tamil month of Vaikashi (May - June)
