Periazhwar Thirumozhi(192)  2.8.1

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 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 his "இந்திர னோடு பிரமன் ஈசன் இமையவ ரெல்லாம்" 

pasuram, PeriaAzhwar playing the role of Yashodha and treating lord of Thiruvellarai as Lord Krishna invites the Lord to come near him so that he can ward of effect of evil eyes falling on  Lord Krishna. Periazhwar says That Indra, Brahmma, other Gods and Devas have brought Manthra Pushpam  and have assembled and hiding to worship Lord Of Thiruvellarai. Periazhwar says " Oh Lord residing amongst men of learning in Thiruvellarai, where mansions touch the moon !!.Come and have the Kappu to ward off evil eye."

Here is a presentation on Periazhwar's Mangalasaanam  to Lord of Thiruvellarai  through "இந்திர னோடு பிரமன் ஈசன் இமையவ ரெல்லாம்" Pasuram.
