Lord Vishnu again appeared Himself as a Vaishnavite and told King Sibi to count Him and make the numbering as 3700. While do so one of the Vaishnavite died and King Sibi was very much worried about it. As requested Sibi Chakravarthy brought the 3700 Vaishnavites from the North and built the temple. So Saint Markandeya asked Sibi Chakravarthy to bring 3700 Vaishnavites from North and build a temple here for Lord Vishnu. While doing so Lord Vishnu appeared before them. Saint Markandeya was under penance here and King Sibi narrated the incident that occurred here and the saint asked the king to perform a Milk Abhiseka to the hole. He chased It and the Boar finally went inside a hole. Once when Sibi Chakravarthi has been tented here with his warriors here, a white boar crossed him.
