Divya Desa Mangalasasanam  Thirupper Nagar - DD006

Periazhwar Thirumozhi(205)  2.9.5

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 "கொண்டல்வண் ணாஇங்கே போத ராயே கோயிற்பிள் ளாய்இங்கே போத ராயே" 

pasuram, PeriaAzhwar imagines himself to be Yashodha  in Gokulam and Lord of Thirupper Naagar to be Lord Krishna. The neighbouring women pour in complaints that Lord Krishna steals butter, broke pots etc... Yashodha wanted to catch him and punish him. So she invites him to come home to have food and starts singing his glory so as to attract him. Yasodha says " Oh! Lord with body in color of cloud. come here. You are the same Lord Sriman Narayana in Bhujanga Sayana Kolam in Thirupper Nagar which is surrounded by water, Please come and have food. Knowing Yasodha's intention, Lord Krishna enters the house saying that he had finished eating and pretens that he is feeling sleepy. But Yasodha intercepts and pick up child Krishna in her hands and woners how this boy has learnt all these tricksto escape punishment.

Here is a presentation on Periazhwar's Mangalasaanam  to Lord of Thirupper Nagar(Koviladi)  through "கொண்டல்வண் ணாஇங்கே போத ராயே கோயிற்பிள் ளாய்இங்கே போத ராயே" Pasuram.
