Divya Desa Mangalasasanam  
Thiru Kavalambadi- DD027

Thirumangai Azhwar Peria Thirumozhi 1306 (4.6.9)

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 "சந்தமாய் சமய மாகிச் சமயவைம் பூத மாகி", Thirumangai Azhwar offers Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thiru Kavalambadi Divya Desam. Thirumangai Azhwar says " Oh Lord! You are the origin of Veda and its meters( Chandas or छन्दः). You are the one that decided padas and syllables for the main Veda Angas namely gāyatrī(24) uṣṇih(28), anuṣṭubh(32), bṛhatī(36), pañkti(40) triṣṭubh(44) and jagatī(48). You are the controller five Pancha boothas( Air, Water, Fire, Sky and Earth) each with its own characteristics. You are the cause for end of the world, You are the creator of Universe. You direct the Veda administration. You are the Lord of Thiru Kavalambadi Divya Desam in Thiru Nangur surrounded by gardens with Parijatha trees, peacocks. Oh Lord of Thirukavalbadi filled with sweet scents. Please Protect us."
