Dear Bhagavatas, 
I wish to clear some points regarding Madurantakam temple. 
While returning from lanka Ramas pushpakavimanam got struked with a mountain 
near by while crossing this placecalled vakularanyam. magizhamarakkadu.Then 
Rama remem bered the word given to sage Vibandaka that he will visit him with 
Sita while returning back. So he got down and gave darsan to the sage who is 
also present even now in moolasthanam. 
Actually Sita is holding the hands of Rama and not as said before.Ramanuja got 
pancha samskara under the Sthala vrukha vakulam 
H.H. 42 nd pontif of Ahobila mutt started a sanskrit college here which 
celebrated golden jubili recently

Your account of the Englishman's Prappathi was enthralling to read. Adiyen 
has a small story to add to this prapatti.

1. Lakes (Eri) in villages are used for irrigation, bathing, drinking, etc. 
etc in olden days. Even now, Madurantakam Eri is surrounded by 25 villages 
and all these villages depend on this eri very much. In short any lake 
protects its villages. Similarly Swami Ramanuja protects everyone. So, Swami 
Ramanuja is an "Eri" too. As Swami Ramanujacharya got his panchasamaskaram 
under a tree (which is behind Andal Sannidhi in the temple) from Sri 
PeriyaNambigal in this temple, this Rama saved our Ramanuja by having his 
panchasamaskaram done at Madurantakam. Hence, this Raman is none other than 
"Eriyagiya Ramanujanai Katha Raman". Adiyen remembers this story from one 
who was doing kaimkaryam in Sri Ramanujar Sannidhi at Madurantakam. If there 
any mistakes in the story, please accept my apologies.

2. Only in this kshetram, Swami Ramanuja will be wearing "Silver White 
Veshti" as at the time of having panchasamaskaram , our acharyan was still a 
gruhasthan. Beside him is present his acharyan, Sri Periya Nambigal.
