Going around the temple

Bhishma said - Let me tell you more.

The Guru Brihaspati had a temple where he worshiped Krishna and regularly went around the temple. One Indra went there and saw the Guru worshiping the Lord and going around the temple seven times.Indra wanted to know about this. To this the Guru said Let me tell you a story.

There was a brahmin called Sudev who was known to be a cruel person. He was driven away by the town people because of his evil deeds.

He went to the banks of the river Narmada where he saw a sage lost in meditation. Sudev picked up feathers of vultures and put those on the sage.

When the sage realized this, he cursed Sudev to be transformed into a vulture.

The vulture flew around in the forest. One day a hunter shot the bird and managed to wound it. The bird flew a bit and fell on a temple. The bird unknowingly went around the temple seven times and got salvation.

Saying this Brihaspati said Going around the temple relives one off their sins.
