Dear Members I introduce myself a recent member to the group.My full name is Narasimhan Krishnamachari Ravi.My native place is Natchiarkoil near Kumbakonam and settled at Mumbai. Did sage Rishyasringa have a horn in his face? To quote Kambaramayanam Balakandam verse 212 Varukalai piravum Needi Manuneri Varambum Vaimai Tharukalai Maraiyum Ennin Sadhumugarku uvamai sandron Thirukalai Udaya inda segathu uullor thanmai nera orukalai Mugaa sringa uyar thavan Varudal Vendum. Meaning : Vashista tells Dasharatha that ( in the context of Puthra kamesthi yagna ) the man who knows all the shastras prevailing in this world including that of Manudharma shastra and can be compared to Sadurmuga Birma in his knowledge of the awareness of Meiporul in the vedas who is different from people of this world, has a horn in his face ( orukalai Muga sringan ) a man of superior Thabas namely the Kalai kottu munivan should come here. In tamil explanations ( urai ) of Kambaramayana Rishyasringa is always refered to as "Kalaikottu Ma munivan.".Kalai kottu means a man with a Deer horn. There is no mention of this in C.R.Srinivasa Iyengar's translation of Valmiki Ramayana? I request this be clarified. Ravi. Yahoo!
