SUMMARY: Oh Mother Earth (Bhudevi), Hanumantha, like a boat, has reached Lanka to see your daughter Seetha Devi and to make her cross the ocean of sorrow. The gigantic Mount Mahendra might have sunk into the Earth due to the pressure created by the force with which Hanumantha jumped in to the space, by telling the Mother Earth not to fear for her daughter, is shining.

Guessing that Mount Mahendra should be very close to Darbhashayana, Sri Vadirajaru has praised it in his own inimitable style.

According to sources, Mahendragiri is a hill in Tirunelveli District, South Tamila Nadu. It is a part of the southern range of Western Ghats and its elevation is said to be 1,645.2 m or 5,398 ft.

Whether this Mahendragiri is the one that finds mention in Ramayana and Mahabharata or is it the one that is situated in Odisha is something that needs to be concluded only after some research.
