Impressed Lord, replied that “Veda Purusha wish and River Krishnaveni  wish to perform daily abhisheka will be fulfilled during his Narasimha Avatar” till then he asked them to reside under the waters of river Krishnaveni as Saligrama stones. Lord Narasimha Swamy an incarnation of Lord Vishnu self-manifested on Vedadri hill after killing the demon Hiranyaskha.
