[Advaita-l] [advaitin] The Bhashyas of Adi Shankara

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

According to some scholars the present Kamakshi temple was originally a
jain temple and the name of the Devi Dharmamba(Jinadharmamba?).
According to these scholars the original Kamakshi temple is the
Adipeetheswari temple in Kanchi. The very fact Kamakoti Peetham recognises
the present temple as Kamakshi temple shows that they are not aware of the
change.

regards,
Sarma.
