Sri Ranga's diverse abodes.

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Thirumanjanam Sundara Rajan Swamy:

 

adiyEn deeply appreciates the wonderful posting

of Yours on Sri Ranga's diverse abodes.

 

Thanks very much.

 

The Name Hema Rangan for Thirukkudanathai AarAvamudhan

is linked with Him marrying Sri KomaLavalli , who incarnated

as the daughter of Hema Maharshi , who lived on the banks of

Hema PushkaraNi at Thirukkudanthai.

 

The Thirukkudanthai Sthala PurANam celebrates

" Sri RanganAthA's " arrival on a chariot from

heaven to marry Hema Maharishi's daughter in response

to the sage's penance to have The Lord as his

son-in-law (Similar Sthala PurANam at Oppiliappan

Sannidhi , where the Lord ThiruviNNagarappan

responded to the prayer of MaarkaNDEya Maha Rishi).

The Vaidhika VimAnam at Thirukkudanathai is

in the form of a chariot drawn by divine horses

even today. At this Dhivya Desam , He is prathyaksham

to Hema Maharishi.That is where the name originated

as the Rangan dear to hema Maharishi , who raised

KomaLavalli , who incarnated on a golden Lotus

at PoRRAmaRaikkuLam at Thirukkdanthai.

 

Lord AarAvamudhan's VimAnam is Vaidhika VimAnam ,

" a twin of the PraNavAkAra VimAnam " according to

the Sthala PurANam .
