Divya Desa Managalasasanam Thirupper Nagar (Koviladi) DD006 Nammazhwar's Thiruvaaimozhi (3745) Pasuram 10.8.2

Divya Desa Managalasasanam   
Thirupper Nagar (Koviladi) DD006  
Nammazhwar's Thiruvaaimozhi (3745) Pasuram 10.8.2 

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 Nammazhwar. 

Nammazhwar was known by the name of Maran from childhood. He was different from other children and pretty abnormal in day-to-day activities and his parents gave him the name Maran, indicating that he was unique and different from the children of his age.  Nammazhwar's parents tried everything under their control to get the child back to normal and ultimately surrendered to Athinatha perumal in Thirukurugoor and left the child under his care. The child moved on its own from Athinathar sannathi into a Tamarind tree in the temple complex and stayed there for 16 long years almost immobile. There was big transformation in Maran at the age of 16.

Nammazhwar composed and sang four prabhandhams namely Thiru Viruththam, Thiruvasiriyam, Peria Thiruvandhadhi and Thiruvaaimozhi reflecting Rig, Yajur, Atharvana and Sama veda. These Divya Prabhandhams got the name Dravida Veda Sagaram because they were in Tamil and essence of corresponding Sanskrit Veda

In this Thiruvaaimozhi pasuram "
பேரே யுறைகின்ற பிரான் இன்று வந்து  " Nammazhwar says that he has decided to hold on
tightly to the Lord of Thirupper Nagar Divya Desam, who is none other than Lord Sriman Narayana still hungry even after swallowing seven seas, seven mountains and seven worlds and who came and entered his heart. 

Here is a presentation on Nammazhwar's Managalasaanam  to Lord of Thirupper Nagar through "
பேரே யுறைகின்ற பிரான் இன்று வந்து  "Pasuram
