One time one king came to attack the temple. All the Vaishnavas stood up to protect the deity, but that Muslim king beheaded thousands of devotes.
Then a well-dressed woman said I can tell you where Sri Ranganath is please come behind me.
Captured by the beauty and words of the woman he climbed the white Gopurama following the lady and she showed him the golden Vimana (golden tower made of 25 tonne gold).
That tower contains
If someone circumambulates the vimana twice, he gets the result of 1000 horse sacrifices.
So the lady brought the Muslim king on the top of a Gopuram and pushed him from the top and the king died.
The woman started thinking I have done a great offence so I must also commit suicide. But as she jumped, Ranganath caught her and protected her. There are many such incidences in the history of this Dham.
