When Vilvamangalam Swami was doing tapasya, Krishna appeared before him disguised as a little boy.Vilvamangalam asked to boy to stay with him. The boy who accepted it, set a condition
that whenever he feels humiliated he will leave the place at once. Boy served the sage for sometime. But soon his naughtiness became intolerable for the sage and he reacted. Humiliated, the boy disappeared from there after proclaiming that if Vilwamangalam wants to see him
He would have to go to Ananthankadu, the forest of serpent Anantha.
Vilwamangalam soon realized that the boy was Vishnu himself. He found a cave at the place where the boy disappeared. He went through the cave and reached the seashore and from there travelled southwords
