Guest guest Posted July 1, 1999 Report Share Posted July 1, 1999 Dear list-members, After Sriman Rengarajan's very interesting series on ArAvamudan, we can now all eagerly look forward to SrimAn Sadagopan's and Sriman Rangaswamy's forthcoming series on another KumbakOnam subject. I have read somewhere the following verse on KumbakOnam but do not know who penned it. I am sharing it below with the list members in the hope that someone would perhaps have some information on its parentage : "anya-kshetrE krtam pApam punya-kshetrE vinasyati punya-kshtetrE krtam pApam VaranAsyam vinasyati VAranAsyAm krtam pApam KumbakOnE vinasyati KumbakOne krtam pApam kumbakOnE vinasyati." "You can sin anywhere and wash it away in a holy spot You can sin in a holy spot and wash it away in Varanasi You can sin in Varanasi and wash it away in Kumbakonam But if you sin in Kumbakonam, well (my friend!)... You can wash it away only in Kumbakonam!" Who sang this great glory of Kumbakonam? Will some Kumbakonam-vasi please explain? adiyEn dAsan, Sudarshan ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
