While there are mountains such as mEru and himAlaya which are taller, more expansive and firmer than these two mountains, why are these two mountains being spoken of as her bosom and not those greater mountains? emperumAn<\/a> has taken permanent residence only in thirumALirunjOlai and thiruvEngatam and hence these are mentioned as her bosom. thiruvAimozhi 10.7.4 says \u201cthen koL thisaikkuth thiladhamAy ninRa\u00a0 thirumAlirunjOlai\u201d <\/em>(thirumAlirunjOlai stands as the identifying mark for the southern direction) and thiruvAimozhi 3.3.7<\/a> says \u201cparan senRu sEr thiruvEngadam<\/em>\u201d (thirumalai where emperumAn has reached), thus identifying these two mountains as divine abodes of emperumAn. A SlOkam from SrI rAmAyaNam has been explained here by periyavAchchAn piLLai to bring out the greatness of thirumAlirunjOlai:<\/p>\n It is only because of the greatness of thirumAlirunjOlai that vAlmIki bhagavAn too cited this as a simile for chithrakUta mountain in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 98-12\u00a0 \u201csubhagaS chithrakUtO\u2019sau girirAjOpamO giri<\/em>\u201d. girirAja is an alternative name for thirumAlirunjOlai. chithrakUta is very beautiful like thirumAlirunjOlai. subhaga<\/em>:\u00a0 – very beautiful. Even if it is beautiful, it may not be liked by its beloved. Is it like that? girirAjOpamO giri<\/em>: – it matches thirumAlirunjOlai which is considered as bhUmippirAtti\u2019s bosom. Does its beloved reside in it just as thirumAlirunjOlai\u2019s beloved does? yasmin vasathi kAkustha<\/em>: – SrI rAma has taken a liking to this\u00a0 [chithrakUta] since it is similar to the bosom of bhUmippirAtti. yadhadhyAsthE mahAthEjA<\/em>: – kubEra iva nandhathE<\/em> \u2013 just as kubEra (one of the celestial entities, protector of northern direction) lives continuously in his chaithraratham (chariot) with happiness, the greatly radiant SrI rAma too lives continuously in this chithrakUta mountain which is inhabited by wild animals. asau chithrakUta<\/em>: subhaga<\/em>: – there is nothing greater than such chithraUta.<\/p>\n vadivamaindha<\/strong> \u2013 the divine form of bhUmippirAtti is matching the mountains which are like her bosom.<\/p>\n In the next article, we will discuss the next part of this prabandham.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous thiruvEngadam – thirumalai thirumAliurunjOlai thennan uyar poruppum dheyva vadamalaiyum ennum ivaiyE mulaiyA vadivamaindha Word by word meaning thennanuyar poruppum dheyva vadamalaiyum ennum ivaiyE mulai A \u2013 the mountain of thirumAlirum sOlai and thiruvEngadamalai (thirumalai hill) as her bosomvadivu amaindha \u2013 having … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iyarpa","category-periya-thirumadal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28528\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/thirumala-hill.jpg\")
