Then Bhootha ganas realize their mistakes, they repent and pray to Shiva for his mercy, Shiva tells once I have given the shapa (Curse) I cannot take it back, so go to Brahma ask for Pariharam. Then Brahma tells that please go to the Punya Bhoomi of Great Bhartha Varusham, Go to a place known as Arunaranyam Kshetram which is situated in between Thiruvenkatam Hills and Sathayavratha Kshetram (Kanchi) and pray to Lord Maha Vishnu for Sapa Vimochanam.
