Kardama
Prajapati was the mind born son of Lord Brahma. Before proceeding with his task
of procreating, Kardamar wanted to obtain the Lord’s blessings. He therefore
meditated upon Lord Narayana. Perumal soon came before Kardamar on top of
Garudazhwar. As it was Krita Yugam, Perumal had a white complexion; he was
dressed in white and wore white pearls. The rishi cried tears of joy which
pooled into a beautiful lake called Bindu Saras. Kardamar admired the Lord’s feet
held by Garudazhwar in his palms. Kardamar could admire the Lord’s beautiful
face and arms but was unable to look at the Lord’s vakshashthalam as it
Garudazhwar obscured the rishi’s view. Lord Vishnu understanding the rishi’s
desire to see His form from head to toe stood on top of Garudazwar’s shoulders
so that the rishi could worship the Lord’s beautiful form.
The Lord
blessed kardamar and informed him that his would-be father in law is on his way
with Kardamar’s future wife. The Lord then promised to incarnate as Kardamar’s
son. After blessing Kardamar, Lord Vishnu did not vanish from the rishi’s view
immediately but the Lord turned around so that the the rishi could also enjoy
the Lord’s “pinazhagu”.
Swayambhuva
Manu’s daughter Devahuthi heard about the excellent character of kardamar
Prajapati and fell in love with him even though she had never seen him.
Swayambhuva Manu approached kardamar with his daughter Devahuthi and gave her
in marriage to Kardamar.
Kardamar
continued with his rigorous penance while Devahuthi helped him by doing all the
chores. Finally when kardamar came out of his penance, he realized that both he
and his wife had aged. He felt sorry that he had not kept up his promise to
Lord Brahama to create more people on earth. With his powers, he turned himself
into a young man and asked his wife to take a dip in the Bindu Saras. As soon
as Devahuthi stepped in to Bindu saras, she was attended by many divine women
who helped her to regain her youth.

Thus the couple spent their lives together
and soon had nine daughters. One day Kardamar informed Devahuthi that he was
ready to retire to the forest leaving all family ties. Devahuthi requested him
to instruct her on the way to obtain salvation. Kardamar informed her that
their son who was in Devahuthi’s womb would instruct her. He told her that the
Lord Himself would incarnate as their son. Kardamar postponed his retirement
till the birth of his son as he wished to see the Lord.

Thus the
Lord incarnated as Kapilacharya the son of Kardamar & Devahuthi. Kardamar
left to the forest after going around Kapilar in the clockwise direction. We
should always go around people (anyone) in a clockwise direction or to their
left to show respect to the antaryami Bagawan within them.
