TIRUVANGAD - SRI RAMA TEMPLE  
THOMAS HARVEY BABER

Baber, despite blabbering at the horse's strange action, discreetly introspected over his action. Then illumination dawned upon him that his indifference to Lord Sri Rama was the cause of this mysterious phenomenon. Poor steed: He was only to be blamed than his mount. He at once alighted and went straight into the temple. He made amends by offering special pujas. Later resumed his emergent duty. He turned a great Rama bhakta like that of Vibheeshana soon.

This spotlights Sri Rama's boundless grace for bhaktas and justifies the claim of the epithet karunaikasindhu applied to him. He illumines and guides his devotees at the right time in right manner. He is Dharma, and Dharmadevata too emulated him showering encomiums on him. Thus, this temple is supremely famous for demonstrating to the world Rama's ennobling virtues of asritarakashana and dustasikshana. And lo! they are inscribed in gold on the glittering pages of history. So neither can they be contradicted, nor erased by any. If the unbridled tongues of atheists or rationalists grow eloquent, Sri Rama chuckling heartily illumines their minds to retract their ways, if regretted. Else Dooms day decides what they deserved.
