Although the Moola BhEram of Sri VaradarAja PerumAL resting in the PushkaraNi is made from Atthi wood and is brought out every twelve (?) years for worship, the real reason of linking the Prefix of Atthi has to do with the word "Hasthi" in Sanskrit , which has changed to Atthi in Tamil. Hasthi means Elephant .The small hillock on which the Lord stands is known as Hasthigiri. All of this relates to SthalapurANam , where Brahma performed a Major Yaj~nam to have the darsanam of the Lord , who appeared out of the Agni Kuntam under PuNyakOti VimAnam . There are material in the archives dating to Feb 2000 on Kanchi PerumAL that you may wish to refer to. V.Sadagopan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
