Quotes

 * May you all be ever protected by Lord Vāmana in the form of Trivikrama who, though being dwarf, is tall with a physique which is an embodiment of all sixteen branches of knowledge. He bears in his palm the Universe which gets disturbed by cloud Samavarta and Pramad, as they strike against the rocks of Kulagiri and create echo.
 * Vishnu Hari inscription, Verse 2, as quoted in in Kiśora, K. (2016). Ayodhyā revisited.
