Amongst the few disciples of Shukaracharya , Guru of the Demons, was Krodhasura who was mighty as well as valiant. One day Krodhasura told Shukracharya Sir, I want to become the king of this Trilok , kindly guide me. Listening to this Shukaracharya was very happy. He gave the Surya Mantra to recite.
Krodhasura practiced severe austerities and penance and pleased the Sun God. He asked him to bless him with immortality and to bless him so that he wins over the Trilok. The Sun God blessed him accordingly. He turned to his Guru and Guru Shukracharya appointed him as the king of all the Asuras.
After this, alike other Asuras, Krodhasura collected an army and conquered the earth. After that he attacked the Swarga loka and the Surya Loka. Even Surya i.e. the Sun God was helpless and deserted Surya loka.
After this all the Gods started worshipping Lord Ganesha. Lambodara an incarnation of Ganesh assumed form and blessed them. He also defeated Krodhasura by engaging him in war. Krodhasura fell on Lambodaras feet and asked for forgiveness.
The Lord forgave and told him to go to Pataal Lok and never to return. All the Gods were elated and they started singing the glories of Lord Lambodara.It is situated in Taluka Sudhagad District Raigad.
