Divya Desa Mangalasasanam  
Thiru Chirupuliyur - DD024

Thirumangai Azhwar Peria Thirumozhi 1636(7.9.9)

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 "கருமாமுகி லுருவா! கனலுருவா! புனலுருவா", Thirumangai Azhwar offers Mangalasasanam and Saranagathi to the Lord of ThiruChirupuliyur Divya Desam. Thirumangai Azhwar says " O Lord!! You have a body resembling dark laden rain clouds. You are like a fire and those without love for you can not go near you. You have a form which feels like cold sream of flowing water. Your form appear as a huge mountain. You have a form of several objects. You are Divya Swarupa. You are adored by Mahalakshmi. You are the nectar of ocean residing in Thiruchirupuliyur. Your Lotus feet is the only refuge for me"

Here is a presentation on Mangalasasanam to the Lord of 
Thiru Chirupuliyur Divya Desam through Thirumangai 
Azhwar's Peria Thirumozhi pasuram  
கருமாமுகி லுருவா! கனலுருவா! புனலுருவா".
