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.
