|
| Sri Adi Sankara,
the great Advita teacher who reestablished the Hindu religion in this land, has during his
pilgrimage all over India, visited Srisailam and stayed at this spot for some time. It was
during his stay here, that Adisankara composed those exquisite verses in praise of
Mallikarjunaswamy in his celebrated work Sivanandalahari. It was also during his stay here
that he sang in praise of Goddess Bhramaramba, in his Bhramaramba Ashtaka. Sri Sankara has
sung in praise of Lord Mallikarjuna in his Dwadasalingastotra as follows: "I bow before Lord Mallikarjuna, who helps men to get over, as if by a bridge, the great ocean of Samsara, and who always resides on the Srisailam hill and the Seshadri hill."
