Divya Desa Managalasasanam Thiruvarangam - DD001 Thiruppanazhwar's Amalanadhi Piran (935) Pasuram 9

Divya Desa Managalasasanam   Thiruvarangam - DD001  Thiruppanazhwar's Amalanadhi Piran (935) Pasuram 9

Azhwars have done Managalasasanam 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


  • 1      Name of Divya desam directly or in a subtle way

  • 2      Name of Emperuman directly or in a subtle way

  • 3     Manobhavam of Azhwar who composed the pasuram

  • 4      References to events , Leelas in Vibhava Avatars

  • 5     References to Para, Vyuha and Antharyami forms                    of  Sriman Narayana

  • 6      References to 26 Thatwams ( Paramatma, Jeevatma,               Moola Prakruthi, Mahaan, Ahankaaram, Manasu, Kaalam     Five each of elements, attributes,  Indriyas and Senses)

  • 7      Divya Desa Vimana, Pushkarini etc

  • 8      Natural beauty of the Divya desam surroundings

The pasuram presented below is by Thiruppanazhwar.

 One may wonder what Prompted Sri Ranganatha to grant Divya Seva to Thiruppanazhwar who just sang only ten pasurams as compared to 1102 pasurams of Nammazhwar. While other Azwars focused on the glory of  Sriman Narayan of all his different forms of para, Vyuha, Vibhava, Antaryami and Archa, Thiruppanazhwar focused on the Thirumani of Sri Ranganatha, the Archa and Swayambhu form  of Sriman Narayana.

Thiruppanazhwar was longing to have a darshan of  Sri Ranganatha but was prevented from entering the temple. Due to Sri Ranganatha's thiruvilayadal, Thiruppanazhwar was carried to HIS presence by none other that the chief Archaka of Sri Ranganatha. This unexpected glimpse of Sri Ranganatha made Thiruppanazhwar to pour out his love for the Lord describing HIS thirumeni, part by part in ten pasurams of Amalanadhipiran, in a bhava that touched Sri Ranganatha and gave Thiruppanazhwar his divine darshan.

In this pasuram "ஆலமாமரத்தி னிலைமே லொருபாலகனாய்"  Thiruppanazhwar says that the Lord who swallowed seven worlds and laid himself on a fig leave like a small child is the same Lord reclining on Adhisesha as Lord Ranganatha, wearing gem studded garland anda pearl necklace on his matchless beautiful body. Thiruppaanazhwar says this beauty of the Lord Ranaganatha would ever stay in his mind without ever gettting erased
