The priest at the temple at the end of my street mentioned this a few weeks back. In fact he was more technical - that Trivikrama wore slippers while stomping on Mahabali's head was why Rama had to face the forest barefoot thanks to Bharathan's anbuthollai. I thought it was one of those cases of reading between the lines to emphasize one's PoV - which our epics naturally lend themselves to.Originally Posted by podalangai
However, it is news to me that it found mention in Silappadhikaaram. !
:sigh: Hmph. Searching and navigating through archives in the Hub is something that could use a LOT of tweaking.Originally Posted by podalangai
