Reagarding SwayamVyakta Kshetrams.

Dear Sriman Parthasarathy swamin,

 

namo narayana.

 

Nice to hear from you. Infact, Kanchgipuram and Melkote are as imp as

Thirumalai and Thiruvarangam for us. However, to the best of my knowledge,

swayam vyakta kshEtras are only 8. There is a purANa SlOkam which lists the

ashta swayam vyakta kshetras, which I do not remember.

 

What you have seen in Srirangam temple must be the union of two sets - one

consisting of 8 swayam vyakta kshetras and the other comprising the four

formemost Srivaiashnava temples (koil, thirumalai, PerumAL koil,

ThirunArAyaNapuram) - which makes the total 10 as Thirumalai and Srirangam

are common elements.

 

A few people place ThirunIrmalai among ashta swayam vyakta kshetras in lieu

of vAnamAmalai. Regarding sAlagramam, majority opinion is that it is

Muktinath in Nepal, birthplace of river gandakI. A few people opine that it

is dAmOdarkund, whihc is also in Nepal.

Dear Sri. Vishnu,

 

Thanks for your note on Swayamvyaktha Shetram.

Can I know the basis on which few people consider ThirunIrmalai

in lieu of vAnamAmalai?

 

Thank you,

 

Sri Ramanuja Dasan,

Ramanan Rajagopalan
