鲁马萨拉山
Rumassala 是一座美丽的山,位于 加勒 城东3公里处,位于 南部省 的 斯里兰卡,与 拉玛雅那之行 直接相关,位于 斯里兰卡。根据 拉玛雅那之路 的描述,这个不寻常的地理特征被认为是当哈努曼在返回 兰卡 的飞行中携带德罗纳吉里山时掉落的,目的是使用那些救命的山吉维尼草药。这些草药是用来救助在战争中严重受伤的拉克什玛那和拉玛的。因此,Rumassala 是斯里兰卡五大 山脉 之一,也是斯里兰卡 拉玛雅那旅游 的重要地点。
传说
根据著名的梵文史诗 拉玛雅那,当王子拉玛的妻子希塔被恶魔王拉瓦那绑架时,拉玛与他的弟弟以及猴神哈努曼一同追踪她来到了 斯里兰卡。在激烈的战斗中,拉玛的弟弟拉克什玛那受了重伤,哈努曼被派去寻找治疗他所需的草药。传说中,哈努曼在寻找正确草药的过程中,打破了圣山的一块。山体被打碎成五块,据信其中一块落在今天的 Rumassala 山。与此同时,哈努曼在运送山体时,一些部分被认为掉落在了斯里兰卡的五个地方:加勒的 Rumassala、Hiripitiya 的 Dolu Kanda、Ritigala 在 哈巴拉纳 - 阿努拉德普勒 路段、马纳尔的 Thalladi 以及北方的 Kachchativu。
今天,这座雄伟的山脉仍然是史诗中提到的那些迷人事件的见证。关于旅行者迷失在山中的奇怪故事,Rumassala 也成了草药的避风港。研究人员发现了近150种独特的草药,这些草药奇怪地只在这里生长,其他地方找不到。
