Sri Vyasarajathirtharu [Vyasarayaru] used to meditate everyday on the banks of River Tungabhadra. One day, while he was meditating He visualized an Image of Lord Hanuman. This happened only at that particular place and nowhere else. So next time, he drew that image of Hanumaan on a rock. To his surprise, a monkey came to life from the rock and jumped out of the rock and his drawing disappeared. This happened 12 times. Every time a monkey would come alive, jump out and his drawing would disappear. Finally he drew a Yantra around the picture so that the monkey will not go out of the rock. Please see the featured Image. He bound the Lord Hanumaan inside the Yantra. Here the Lord Hanumaan is in sitting position inside the Yantra. This is the place where he wrote the famous Yanthroddharaka Hanuman sthothram.
Location:

In the pala sthuthi it is mentioned, chanting this sloka three times a day with complete dedication and bhakthi for a period of six months, one’s wish will be fullfilled.
Hari Sarvothamah
Also the Last phrase indicates, Never doubt on Lord sri Hari, The Master of universe, And he who doubts this eternal truth would go to hell for sure. Thus Vyasarajaru Emphasizes the concept of Hari Sarvothamah!!!
