Nammazhwar's Thiruvaaimozhi (3363) Pasuram 5.3.1
Azhwars have done Managalasasanam 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
Nammazhwar was known by the name of Maran from childhood. He was different from other children and pretty abnormal in day-to-day activities and his parents gave him the name Maran, indicating that he was unique and different from the children of his age. Nammazhwar's parents tried everything under their control to get the child back to normal and ultimately surrendered to Athinatha perumal in Thirukurugoor and left the child under his care. The child moved on its own from Athinathar sannathi into a Tamarind tree in the temple complex and stayed there for 16 long years almost immobile. There was big transformation in Maran at the age of 16.
Nammazhwar composed and sang four prabhandhams namely Thiru Viruththam, Thiruvasiriyam, Peria Thiruvandhadhi and Thiruvaaimozhi reflecting Rig, Yajur, Atharvana and Sama veda. These Divya Prabhandhams got the name Dravida Veda Sagaram because they were in Tamil and essence of corresponding Sanskrit Veda
In this Thiruvaaimozhi pasuram "மாசறு சோதியென் செய்ய வாய்மணிக் குன்றத்தை ", Nammazhwar offers Mangalasasanam to the Lords of Thiru Thajai, Thiru manikundram and Thiru Thanjayali Divya Desams. Nammazhwar assumes the role of Parankusa Nayaki and informs her friend that as Lords of these Divya Desams are not paying attention to her, she has decided to ascend and ride a horse made of Palm tree stems to express her disappointment. Parankusa Nayaki's friend says that the people of the town and her mother would condemn her action.. Parankusa Nayaki says " I have lost my heart to the Lord who hasa blemish less radiance, the Lord with red lips, and the Lord who resembles like a spotless mountain of gems and the Lord with blemish less character and the Lord who is also the oldest Primordial God. How long can I survive like this, having lost all my shine, health, and my sharp thinking power beacuse of my disappointments. Even if the people of the town were to blame me for my madness, would it really matter to me at this juncture"

Per Request from Parasura Rishi, Lord Sriman Narayana demolished three demons Thanjagan, Thandagan and Tharakaasuran who were posing threats to Parasura Rishi and his yagna. Sriman Narayana has taken Archavatar of Neelamegha Perumal in Thiru Thanjai Divya Desam, Manikundra Perumal in Thiru Manikundram Divya Desam and Veera Narsimha Perumal in Thiru Thanjayali Divya Desam.
All thre Three Divya Desams are treated as one Divyadesam and Thirumangai and Peyazhwar have done Mangalasasanam to all three.
