ANKOLAM NIJABEEJASANTATI The tree ANKOLAM called in telugu as vooduga

(in english called as trilvid alurckin and in latin allangiam

lamaoka) is having a typical miracle. The seeds falls after ripe.

when clouds started roaring in rainy season the seeds on earth jumps

up and embrace the mother tree, as the mother tree atttacts them.

AYASKANTOPALAM SOOCHIKAA The magnet attracts the needles made by iron

SAADHWEE NAIJAVIBHUM A pious and noble lady attracts her husband only

and no oher person.

LATAA SKSHITIRUHAAM The creeper bounds the tree firmly.

SINDHU SSARIDWALLABHAM PRAPNOTI All rivers are having only aim to go

to OCEN and flows from thier birth places to ocen.

Like the above whoos mind always think and worship the Lotus feet

of PASUPATI ( SIVA ) then that is called as BHAKTI (DEVOTION)

which guide us in this birth and forthcomming births .
