Divya Desa Mangalasasanam Thirukoodalur DD008 Nootrettu Thiruppathi Andhadhi Pasuram ( Pillai Perumal Iyengar)

Divya Desa Mangalasasanam 
 Thirukoodalur DD008 
Nootrettu Thiruppathi Andhadhi Pasuram       
( Pillai Perumal Iyengar)

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 is by Pillai Perumal Iyengar, who was a sishya of Paarasar Bhattar. Pillai Perumal Iyengar  had composed Ashta( eight) Prabhandhams. One of them is Notrettu Thiruppathi Andhadhi which had one pasuram each for each of the 108 Divya Desams. 

In this Pasuram Pillai Perumal Iyengar offers Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thirukoodalur and says "Oh Lord you wield the intermittently glittering five weapons namely the Conch, Wheel, mace, Sword and Bow. One who shows love and compassion to all living beings. One who presides over the Divyad Desam of Thirukoodalur. I am your servant and expected to serve you. Instead I am under the control of my senses. I am serving and dancing to the tune of my Panchendriyums. I am lost in eating tasty food, my ears are listening to music instead of your glory. I am lost in seeing, touching and smelling. Is is proper for me to serve these Panchendriyams and their actions"

Here is a presentation on Thirukoodalur  Divya Desam Mangalasasanam by Pillai Perumal Iyengar
