Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 >chiRRambalam is not chiRu ambalam but "chit" ambalam. Though chid ambalm has a philosophical import, I think chiRu ambalam is also correct. Govindaraja swami’s shrine is referred as perambalam periya-ambalam as he was there even before nataraaja danced in chidambaram. It is referred as punDarIka kshetram in the puraNa. I might be totally wrong. Thanks to Sri Subramanian Ganesh for undertaking this effort.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 My 2 cents : Chittrambalam is indeed chiru + ambalam. Chid+ambaram refers to the "Dahara+akasham" and this space or ether is in the heart. It is the smaller space(chiru), compared to "Mahakasham" or the space that pervades everything, the Tamil word for CHidambaram is therefore chiru ambalam.
