Shri OM, Siddlingeshwar Swamiji, in his heavy literary work, “Shri Pampa Mahatme” provides many folk information on Hampi, he presents “Virupaksha– pampadevi’s marriage, Rushyashringa tale, Kinnareshwar story, ‘ Tara Parvata Mahime’, Hemakootadarshana Jambunatha, &amp; other epic stories collection. And many a times he weaves the story in a logical way, as history. Here the author imagines that “The Seven Sages came down to Hampi to learn about the greatness of pampa pilgrimage &amp; he narrates the story as if he is addressing seven sages. Because of such narrations, the very essence of history is kept behind and the imagination predominates and the history became universal replica. The commitment towards time, place, person, are totally overlooked. All along the literary work you can find many Dream reflections.
Hence we can not call it a work of history. But this work provides required epic material for writing history.

Parvathi is cursed by Shiva to take birth in earth and grow up as Daksha’s daughter, and he will come as Lord Virupaksha to marry her. This is the backdrop on which this story further evolves and intertwines with local history and folklore.
As Daughter of Daksha, she is also called as Dakshayini. From her childhood, she is enticed by Shiva and his stories. She starts worshipping him ever since.
Narada, came to Daksha and looking at Parvathi, he bowed to her and told to Daksha bout the mystic behind his daughter. And his virtue is to bring the cosmic mates Shiva and Parvathi together.
He also revealed further secret that Shiva has come down to earth and is in a Penance as Virupaksha in the holy place Hemakoota hills.
Parvathi should go there and worship him until his penance can be broken and she gets her wish to marry him.
Per Narada’s advice, Parvatha raja took his daughter to Hemakoota hills and left her there in the presence of Nandi and other ganas for her to continue worshipping lord Virupaksha.
Further, she carrys her penance at Pampa Sarovara, with daily bathing in the pond and worship and meditations with only Shiva in her heart. And thus she was called as Pampamma or Pampaambika.
