Re: [SriRangaSri] Significance of the number 7

From the Bhakti List Archives

Also is there a reason for deity at Tirumalai being called
Ezhu Malaiyaan (Lord of the SEVEN Hills). I've also heard
people talk about seven seas (Ezhu Kadal). The significance
of number seven is indeed intriguing!

Peace!
