Sri Vadirajaru praises Mookambika as compassionate to devotees of Narayana. The verses are especially valued in the Madhwa tradition. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.
Sthala Purana: Kollur tradition associates Mookambika with the defeat of the demon who became mute and with the Devi's combined powers. The Kshetra later acquired strong Shankaracharya associations as well. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.
Places to See in the Kshetra: Sri Mookambika Temple, principal associated tirthas
