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
The pasuram presented below is by Kulasekra Azhwar. Kulasekara Azhwar is Kausthuaba amsam of Lord Sriman Narayana spearheaded Bakthi movement. He wanted to visit Srirangam and have darshan of Lord Ranganatha serve him and his adiyaars. Being a King, he had many royal Commitments which prevented him from going to Srirangam but yet he would advise his followers to be ready for a journey to Sriranga Divya Kshetrram. Infact in his composition, Mukunda Mala he says
" घृष्यते यस्य नगरे रङ्गयात्रा दिने दिने ।
तमहं शिरसा वन्दे राजानं कुलशेखरम् ॥"
In this Perumal Thiumozhi pasuram " மன்னுபுகழ் கெளசலைதன் மணிவயிறு வாய்த்தவனே " , Kulasekara Azhwar performs Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thirukannapuram. Kulasekar Azhwar visualizes the Lord of Thirukannapuram as child Rama and sings a lullaby. Kulasekara Azhwar singing the glory of Rama says " You are one that came out of the sacred womb of mother Kausalya. You are the one who shattered the ten heads of Ravana, the king of Lanka. You are the Lord of Thirukannapuram Divya Desam with broad, strong and huge walls on all four sides. You are the one shining like a Blue gem. You are my sweet Lord blessing me with all my wants. Oh Lord Raghava!
I sing a llulaby for you."
