Divya Desa Mangalasasanam  
Thirucherai - DD015

Thirumangai Azhwar Peria Thirumozhi 1584 (7.4.7)

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 by Thirumangai Azhwar (Parakalan)  is  the Sarngam (bow) amsam of Srimana Narayana. He holds the distinction of having sung the most number of pasurams than the rest of the Azhwars. Also Thirumangai Azhwar has performed Mangalasasanam at 86 Divya Desams, the maximum by any Azhwar.

In this Peria Thirumozhi Pasuram "பைவிரியும் வரியரவில் படுகடலுள் துயிலமர்ந்த பண்பா. என்றும்,   " , Thirumangai Azhwar pays tribute to the 
Bhagavathas of Thirucherai who regularly offer services
and prayers at the feet of the Lord of Thirucherai by controlling
their five senses and focusing on the Lord of Thirucherai.       
Thirumangai Azhwar says that his heart and deep love are 
reserved for these Bhagavathas. Thirumangai Azhwar mentions 
that these Bhagavathas in their prayer describe the Lord of 
Thirucherai as "You are the virtuous one relining on serpent bed 
in the deep milky ocean. You are the one with body resembling
 dark hued ble gem. Yor are Lord Krishna (மாயவன்). You also reside in the cool Thirucherai Divya Desam surrounded by lakes hosting blue lilies with bees hummimg all the time. " Thirumangai Azhwar knows that the Lord would be happier if His Adiyaars(Bhagavathas) are recognized and so he chooses to perform Mangalasasanam this way to Lor of Thirucherai.

Here is a presentation on Mangalasasanam to Lord of Thirucherai through Thirumangai Azhwar's Peria Thirumozhi pasuram  "பைவிரியும் வரியரவில் படுகடலுள் துயிலமர்ந்த பண்பா. என்றும்,  "
