PURPORT
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura remarks, “Which Sri Saila is being indicated by Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami is not clearly understood.
There is no temple of Mallikarjuna in this area because the Sri Saila located in the district of Dharwad cannot possibly be there.
That Sri Saila is on the southern side of Belgauma, and the Siva temple of Mallikarjuna is located there (Refer to text fifteen of this chapter.) It is said that on that hill Lord Siva lived with Devi.
