This pushkarani is very special in two ways. The

very hearing of the name of this pushkarani will cleanse all

the sins of those who are hearing about it. The pushkarani

is a very beautiful one surrounded by the pasumai of tanjore

delta. In the southern banks of this pushkarani there is a

sannithi for addinaathan in a sitting posture as similar to

Srivaikundam. There are some research efforts that are being

carried out on this sannithi from the purAnic sources.

The main reason for naming this part as sravana pushkarani is

such that readers may benfit from very chanting of this name

as they read this part.

 

Prathyaksham :

or those who had the darshan of the Lord here:

Lord Brahma, Sri Gowthama, King Ubarisaravasu, Sri Vasishtar,

Sri Brugusauthyar, Sri mAadarar, thirumangai Azwar HIMself.

 

There are some details presented in adiyEn's thala purAnam

on "thiruk kaNNa puram" kshEthram written two years ago as to

what aspects of a place or a "divya dEsam" constitue an

"ashtAkshara mantra siddhi" kshEthram. Similar to that, this

kshEthram also has some "adaip peyar" or a special name

due to its constituents, known as "pancha pathrA".

 

1. River,

2. Woods or Jungle

3. Town or nagaram

4. Temple

5. theerttham

 

There may be many places or divay dEsams that have these 5

aspects in it. But this divya dEsam has some type of

speciality in each of these 5 aspects. That is why this is

referred in purAnAs as "pancha pathrA".
