Kulasekara Azhwar and Thirukannapuram Sowriraja Perumal.

Kulasekara Azhwar and Thirukannapuram Sowriraja Perumal.


Kulasekara Azhwar in his Thirukannapuram Pathigam in Perumal Thirumozhi, treats Sowri Raja Perumal as Child Rama and he assumes the role of Kausalya and sings lullaby for Lord Sowrirajan in the role of Chid Rama. 

Kulasekara Azhwar was so much devoted to Lord Rama that once he was listening to the epic story of Ramayana, got emotional and he ordered his army to invade Lanka to help Rama. Later he calmed Down once he heard that Lord Rama had conquered Ravana. 

Based on a discourse of Sri Velukkudi Krishnan, the Thirukannapura padhigam of Perumal Thirumozhi, Kulasekara Azhwar dedicates his pasurams to the various Gaandams of Ramayana namely Baala Gaandam(1-3),  Ayodya Gaandam(4-5), Aaranya Gaandam(6), Kishkindha Gaandam(7), Yuddha Gaandam(8-9), Uthara Gaandam(10) and Benefits of chanting these pasurams (11). The entire pasuram is set in Thalattu format imagining mother Kosalai singing a lullaby for Child Sri Rama.
