Divya Desa Managalasasanam Thirukkannapuram - DD019 Andal Nachiyar Thirumozhi (535) 4.2

Divya Desa Managalasasanam  
Thirukkannapuram - DD019 
Andal Nachiyar Thirumozhi (535)  4.2


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


  • 1      Name of Divya desam directly or in a subtle way

  • 2      Name of Emperuman directly or in a subtle way

  • 3     Manobhavam of Azhwar who composed the pasuram

  • 4      References to events , Leelas in Vibhava Avatars

  • 5     References to Para, Vyuha and Antharyami forms                    of  Sriman Narayana

  • 6      References to 26 Thatwams ( Paramatma, Jeevatma,               Moola Prakruthi, Mahaan, Ahankaaram, Manasu, Kaalam     Five each of elements, attributes,  Indriyas and Senses)

  • 7      Divya Desa Vimana, Pushkarini etc

  • 8      Natural beauty of the Divya desam surroundings

The pasuram presented below is by Andal also known as Soodikoduththa Nachiyar. Andal was divine gifted daughter of  Periazhwar who brought her up in Bakthi claden environment. He was narrating the entire Bala Leelas of Krishna. Kothai was fully immersed in Lord Krishna and her bakthi to the Lord had so much depth that Kothai brought the Lord under control with her bakthi. Periazhwar had a Nanadavanam of his own and used to offer a variety of flowers every day as mala, which Andal used it on herself first before offering it to the Lord. Andal composed Thiruppavai and Nachiyar Thirumozhi bakthi laden pasurams on Lord Krishna.  

In this Nachiyar Thiumozhi pasuram " காட்டில் வேங்கடம் கண்ண புரநகர்" , Andal performs Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thirukannapuram. Andal says that Lord Sriman Narayana enjoying the comforts of Vaikundam served by Nithyasuris and Devas, comes to this world taking Archavathar out of love for his devotees forsaking all comforts of Vaikundam. Lord Sriman Narayana in His archavathar is a resident of Divya Desams Thiruvengadam (in the midst of forest) and Thirukannapuram( a city). He also took Vamana Avatar out of his own Sankalpa. Andal says the Lords of Thiruvengadam and Thirukannapuram came running with eagarness to seek her companionship and are waiting. Andal prays that she be blessed with the closeness of these Lords.


Here is a presentaion on Andal's Mangalasaanam  to Lord of Thirukannapuram Divya Desam through "காட்டில் வேங்கடம் கண்ண புரநகர்" Pasuram
