goShTheshvarAShTaka.n is from a group of short poems of modern
times from Coimbatore. goShTheshvara figuring in this hymn is
kOTTai Ishvara, in the temple behind the municipal office in the
town of Coimbatore. The rAjatashaila in verse 3 (and the last
verse) is Valliangiri near Erode; guhA in verse 3 refers to a
neighbouring place near Bhavaani; triveNI in verse 8 is the sangam
at Bhavaani, of the Kaaveri, Bhavaani and Noyyal; pippilAraNya
in verse 3 is the old name of the place where the shrine of
Perur, on the outskirts of Coimbatore, stands. kA~nchItaru in
verse 5 is the kShetravRikSha at the Perur shrine and kA~nchInadI
is the river Noyyal running nearby. nilAnadI is the river starting
near Valliangiri. vishvanAtha and vishAlAkShI (verse 7) are the
deities in the Avanaashi temple, 20 miles from Coimbatore.
vidAradharaNI (in verse 6) is the landmark forming the TamilNadu
Kerala border in this area.
