The above one is an interesting piece of reference. aDiyEn gets reminded about the Lakshmi Laitha Gruham, which is nothing but Perumal's Vakshasthalam. Swami Parasara Bhattar has wonderfully described the beauty of this part of Perumal's Thirumeni. The horns of bulls have drawn the kolam in this part where the Thulasai mala and other ThiruvAbharanam form the thoranam of the beauitiful nandavanam. The horns did not draw lines by themselves. Perumal jumped in such a way to control the bulls to make sure that lines are drawn in the format that is required. aDiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, ramanan Padmanabhan <aazhwar wrote: karu-mArip pAidhal The guiness world records lists feats which are unimaginable, rare, breathtaking and so on.
