PREFACE
This
celestial celebrity born as an illustrious son to that distinguished
Dasaratha left behind a priceless legacy in the form of virtue,
which the grateful humanity enshrining its image in stupendous
shrines is adoring, since his niryana. Each country is vying with
the other in rejoicing at perpetuating the memory of that worshipful
Srirama in numerous kinds of edifices, and Kerala the sacred land of
that redoubtable Prasuram stands in the forefront claiming honour
for adoring that Souseelyamurthi in several forms and numberless
kovils based on strange legends.
Among
them Tiruvilwamala. Triprayer and Tiruvangad deserve reverent
mention and instant visitation for reasons more than one. Their
unique glories are drawing the devotees to the holy feet of the Lord
in lacks throughout the year. During the annual festivals, they
metamorphose themselves into Bhuloka Vaikunta and bless the genuine Bhaktas
as he did in the case of Ahalaya to single out one. Among the famous
triad Triprayar comes next to that of Tiruvilwamala.
