| Thus at
Kulathupuzha, the first of these, He appears, Balaka or child, at Aryankavu as a
Brahmachari, a' Achankovil as a Grahastha with his two consorts, Poorna and a Pushkara, at
Sabarimala as Vanaprastha and at Ponnambalamedu (the hill of the golden temple) or
Kantamala as the highest Yogi. The last-mentioned
temple, which is not yet explored, is believed to have been built by sages on a
forest-covered mountain opposite Sabarimala on the eastern side. The miraculous appearance
of the celestial light at Sabarimala every year on Makara Sankranti day is believed to
emanate from this spot. |
