Divya Desa Mangalasasanam 
 Thiru Thanjai Maamanikoil   -  DD022
Nootrettu Thiruppathi Andhadhi Pasuram       
( Pillai Perumal Iyengar)

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

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.

 The pasuram presented below is by Pillai Perumal Iyengar, who was a sishya of Paarasar Bhattar. Pillai Perumal Iyengar  had composed Ashta( eight) Prabhandhams. One of them is Notrettu Thiruppathi Andhadhi which had one pasuram each for each of the 108 Divya Desams. 


In this Pasuram Perumal Pillai Iyengar performs Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thiru Thanjai. Perumal Pillai Iyengar advices his mind and says " Oh my mind! Please listen to my advice. This advice would benefit you. There is better solution  that will serve my cause. Both of us can profit and prosper from this advice. That advice is please focus, love and surrender to the emerald like Lord of Thiru Thanjai Divya Desam and Pay tributes and sing the glory  of Panchaydhams ( Conch, Discus, Bow, Sword and Mace), Kausthubam and Mahalakshmi on the body of the Lord of Thiru Thanjai."
