Another interesting story related to virupsksha is found in history.According to that story virupsksha was born in a brahmin clan and belonged to a wealthy family.Virupaksha developed leprosy all over his body due to many misdeeds or unsafe rapes.After contracting leprosy his family forced him to leave home for fear of spreading the disease to others.So he left his house and family and started searching for a cure for his body’s disease.While searching for a cure he heard that there was a sage who told him that if he met him he would be cured of leprosy.After that virupaksha started searching for that sage.While searching he saw a sage named kaushik foing penance at the place of kusheshwor mahadeva.The sage was currently doing penance at the kusheshwor maadeva temple in dumja.The place of kusheshwor mahadeva is the confluence of the roshi and koshi rivers.Virupsksha who was suffering from leprosy saw the sage doing penance there and virupaksha also sat near where the sage was doing penance. When the sage went to his hut or hermitage after penance virupaksha also followed the sage.Seeing virupsksha following the sage the sage asked virupsksha why are you following me?virupsksha told the sage that he had contracted leprosy after being raped in an unsafe mannar everywhere.After that i took many medicines but the leprosy fid not go away.That is why my family syarted hating me because of leprosy.So he said that i came here to see if the leprosy in my body would be cured.Then the sage told virupaksha to do penance in the place where he had done penance and only then will your disease be cured.As per the sage’s order virupaksha did penance a lot at kusheshwor mahadeva but even after doing penance there his leprosy did not go away.After that he returned from there dispair.Thus virupaksha tried to get rid of his evil deeds by performing penance at the place where the sage had meditated other religious places,on various pilgrimages but he was not free from the disease.Therefore even though virupaksha did penance at various pilgrimages places and ascetic places he could not get rid of his evil deeds but only after doing a lot of penance near the pashupatinath temple did he get rid of his evil deeds.Therefore it is said that the escetic place of virupsksha near pashupatinath temple is popular for religious reasons.There is also a religious belief that after coming here and visiting the statue of virupsksha one can get rid of the sins one has committed unknowingly.
