– Please refer to [[http://hinduism.about.com/library/weekly/aa092401a.htm Golden Lanka]] There are many mentions of ‘golden Lanka’ in Sundara Kanda of Srimad-Valmiki Ramayana.
- Lanka is called ‘serendip’ in Persian – a corruption of ‘svarna dvIp ’. The word ‘serendipity’ was derived from this word. Lanka is considered an ‘island of fortune’ and described in many Persian Folk Tales, including ‘The Three Princes of Serendip’ – Source – [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Princes_of_Serendip Svarna Dvip]]
Commentary
- 2 nizzaGkuDagu – the alacrity with which Vibhishana sought the refuge of Sri Rama shows that he had no doubts whatsoever in his mind about the greatness of Lord Rama.
- General – This Kriti brings to mind the Kirtana of Arunachala Kavirayar – ‘En paLLi koNDIrayya’ . [[http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/kallidaihari/Aarunachalakavi.htm Short sketch on the life of Arunachala kavirayar]]
