3. Ubaya pradhAna divya dEsam

 

4. drAvida sruthi darsaka kshEthram

- 63rd chapter of Sri kumbakona mahAthmiyam

 

Each and every name has a reason for being used. While some

of them may be covered in this series of articles it is however not

possible to cover all of them. To the best of many Srivaishnavas

knowledge no other divya dEsam is referred by so many names in so many

purAnAs.
