Periazhwar Thirumozhi(177) 2.6.6
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). Mangasasanam 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 is by Periazhwar also known as Vishnu Chiththan. Periazhwar who had a Nanadavanam of his own good used to offer a variety of flowers every day as mala, which of course Andal used it on herself first before offering it to the Lord. Periazhwar focused on Krishna and his pasurams to Lord Krishna.Even other Archaavatharams appeared as Lord Krishna to him. His entire Peria Thirumozhi is devoted to Krishnavatharam.
In this "ஆலத் திலையான் அரவி னணைமேலான்"
pasuram, PeriaAzhwar performs Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thirukudanthai. Periazhwar imagines Lord Sarngapani to be Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Sriman Narayana. Periazhwar says Lord Krishna is the same Lord Narayana who
1) After swallowing all the worlds slept as a child on a fig leaf
2) Always rests on Adhisesha as bed
3) Is on yoga nidra on bluish ocean
4) Was a close friend to Arjuna from his childhood
5) Is so beautiful.
He orders a grazing staff each to Lord Krishna and to Lord Sarangapani, who is also resting on serpant bed at Kudanthai.
