Divya Desa Mangalasasanam
Thiruvazhundur - DD023
Thiruvazhundur - DD023
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 Pasuram "பகலு மிரவும் தானேயாய்ப் பாரும் விண்ணும் தானேயாய்", Thirumangai Azhwar offers
Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thiruvazhundur Divya
Desam. Thirumangai Azhwar says " Lord Sriman Narayana has taken Archavatar to reside in Thiruvazhundur. Thiruvazhundur has many mansions that are flying flags on its top. The dust is flying from Chariots running on the streets. The sky around Thiruvazhundur is filled with fragrant smoke emanating from Sambrani(Auromere Incense) that the women use to dry their hair. The entire atmosphere resembles dark rain clouds. Such is the richness and beauty of Thiruvazhundur. The Lord who directs Sun and Moon and thereby day and night, The Lord who directs the Leela and Nithya Vibhuthi, The Lord who projects himeself as dark to Bright objects as dark and the Lord who appears as dark to rajas and Thaamsic people and Bright to sathwic people resides in Thiruvazhundur."
