Nadikeshwara speaks “ Oh! Yogindra, Once Lord Vishnu was immersed in the Yoganidra on the serpent of Anantha, he was surrounded by his attendants.  At that moment, Lord Bhrama/Bramavidhamvara arrived in the abode of Lord Vishnu and saw the most attractive Lord Pundarikaksha in Yoga Nidra.  Lord Bhrama annoyed and asked “ Oh! Vathsa, I am your Master, I have arrived to meet you, you have made a mistake by ignoring me, and you did not even greet me.   Whoever disrespects their preceptor will repent in their life.”  Lord Vishnu who is pleasant always, did not show his anger outwardly after listening to the haughty comment of Lord Bhrama, he respectfully received Lord Bhrama, offered him a seat and addressed him “Oh! Vathsa, kindly be seated.  Why are you so angry? Oh! Vathsa, The entire Universe and its living beings are vested in me. Oh! Kamalajatha, you have born on the lotus flower that originated from my navel, therefore you are my son. ”

Nandikeshwara speaks “In this way, Lord Bhrama, and Lord Vishnu had a series of arguments.  Finally, they have engaged in a battle followed by numerous warriors, the two deities seated on their respective celestial vehicle swan and Garuda began a vicious battle.  The deities who were traveling on their respective celestial vehicle noticed the battle.  All the deities assembled to witness the mysterious war between the two prime deities and they showered flowers upon them.  They were thoroughly aware of the fact that this battle would expose the highest of the philosophy into the light.  The two deities used various Astra against each other; finally, both of them brutally wounded with the usage of Astra, the deities became anxious.  Lord Vishnu used the weapon Maheshwarasthram on Lord Bhrama, thinking that it would bring him into sense, but Lord Bhrama made the whole Universe quiver with the usage of powerful Pashupathasthra on the chest of Lord Vishnu.  Immediately there appeared a powerful whirlwind with thousands of dreadful faces, seeing the intensity of the battle, the Bhramanas and deities were equally worried.  The Brahmanas prayed to supreme Lord Shiva wielded in powerful trident, performer of creation, preservation, and destroyer of the Universe and its living beings, even a blade of grass could not move against his will. "

All the deities took shelter in Mount Kailash, the abode of supreme Lord Chandrashekhara.  The deities offered reverential salutation to Lord Parameshwara who symbolizes Pranava.  They witnessed the supreme Lord Parameshwara who is seated with Goddess Uma on a well-decorated dais in the Kailash. He was surrounded by Ganas who were offering service to the supreme Lord Parameshwara and Ma Parvathi.  He was eulogized by Veda, his Ganas were most pleasingly engaged in various service to their Master.  The supreme Lord Mahadeva compassionately looked at the deities, who were anxious.  He imparted nectar-like speeches for the welfare of all, blessed them and enquired about the reason for their visit to Kailash.
