Divya Desa Mangalasasanam Thirupullam Boothangudi- DD010 Thirumangai Azhwar Peria Thirumozhi (1356) 5.1.9

Divya Desa Mangalasasanam  
Thirupullam Boothangudi- DD010
Thirumangai Azhwar  Peria Thirumozhi (1356) 5.1.9


Azhwars have done Mangalasasanam for some Divya Desams very elaborately. For example all 11 Azhwars have sung in praise of Srirangam( Divya Desam 1), Ten Azhwars have sung in praise of Thiruvengadam ( Divya Desam 75) and Thiruparkadal ( Divya Desam 107). Managasasanam to as many as 67 Divydesams  was done by one of the eleven Azhwars only

Mangalasasanam depending on how elaborate it is, covered the one or more of following aspects

  • Name of Divya desam directly or in a subtle way
  • Name of Emperuman directly or in a subtle way
  • Manobhavam of Azhwar who composed the pasuram
  • References to events , Leelas in Vibhava Avatars
  • References to Para, Vyuha and Antharyami forms of Sriman Narayana
  • References to 26 Thatwams ( Paramatma, Jeevatma, Moola Prakruthi, Mahaan, Ahankaaram, Manasu, Kaalam Five each of elements, attributes,  Indriyas and Senses)
  • Divya Desa Vimana, Pushkarini etc
  • Natural beauty of the Divya desam surroundings
The pasuram presented below by Thirumangai Azhwar (Parakalan)  is  the Sarngam (bow) amsam of Srimana Narayana. He holds the distinction of having sung the most number of pasurams than the rest of the Azhwars. Also Thirumangai Azhwar has performed Mangalasasanam at 86 Divya Desams, the maximum by any Azhwar.

 In this Peria Thirumozhi pasuram 
"துன்னி மண்ணும் விண்ணாடும் தோன்றா திருளாய் மூடியநாள்", Thirumangai Azhwar performs Mangalasasanam 
to the Lord of Thirupullam Boothangudi. Thirumangai Azhwar
says Lord Sriman Narayana, at a time on a specific day 
when both upper and lower worlds were drowned in complete
darkness took the Swan form and created four vedas. That 
Sriman Narayana's abode on earth is Thirupullam 
Boothangudi on the banks of river Cauveri, whose banks 
are flooded with Navarathna, gems, Perals, Gold and 
Samaram brought in by swollen river.


Here is a presentation on Thirumangai Azhwar's Mangalasaanam  to Lord of Thirupullam Boothangudi through "துன்னி மண்ணும் விண்ணாடும் தோன்றா திருளாய் மூடியநாள்"  Peria Thirumozhi Pasuram
