Lord Brahmadevan wanted to do the Aswamedha Yaagam in Kanchipuram. But, Lord Saraswathi, who was motivated by Asuraas (Demons) to stop that Yaagam. To do the Yaagam, Light is the primary thing. The Asuraas stopped the light by covering the sky, there by covering the light and spread the darkness. At that time, Sriman Narayanan appeared there as a "Light" and thereby getting the light to the yagam and ride away the darkness. Since, the darkness was taken away, the Perumal there is called as "Deepaprakasar".
