Dear List

In the KaTTurai kaathai of Cilappatikaram, it's
possible to take that MadurApathi is Goddess Miinaakshi,
obliquely refered to by IlangovaDikaL.

My question is "does Ilango adikaL explicitly talk about
Miinakshi, angayaRkaNNi, or something like that?"

I will be thankful for any ref. to Miinakshi in Cilampu.
Hope Sri. Kumar and other listers will help.

Regards,
N. Ganesan
