We have seen the great temple of Siva on the Rock, and one of the oldest and most interesting churches dedi- cated to Christ at its base, and we will now go on two miles to one of the most famous temples of Vishnu at Srirangam, which is supposed to be one of the most "sacred" places in all India, and contains the great Vaishnavite temple of Sri Ranganathan — Lord of the sacred pleasure place ' — and the less important Saivite ^ Seringapatam is of course the same word. Our grandfathers spelled I...ndian names as near as they could to the sound, and now these names are so well known that it is almost too late to correct the spelling, though the meanings are thereby obscured.
THE TEMPLES OF CHRIST 127 temple of Jambukesvaran. According to the legend, Vishnu descended upon the earth and manifested himself as Sri Ranganathan, and converting himself into an idol, installed himself in a shrine near Ayodya (Oudh). At one of the great festivals, when the thrice-eiificacious Asvanicdha (horse sacrifice) was performed, the temple was visited by one of the early Chola kings from Trich- inopoly, who longed with ardent desire to possess him- self of the deity.
