Thirumangai Azhwar Peria Thirumozhi 1538 (6.10.1)

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 Peria Thirumozhi Pasuram " கிடந்த நம்பி குடந்தை மேவிக் கேழ லாயுலகை " , Thirumangai Azhwar performs  Mangalasasanam to trahe Lord of Thirunaiyur .   Thirumangai Azhwar received pancha samskaram from Thirunaraiyur Nambi and so he had special attachment to the Lord of Thirunaraiyur Divya Desam and sung 110 pasurams. In this pasuram. Thirumanagai Azhwar glorifies the feats of Lord Sriman Nrayana and the Ashtakashara Manthram "Om Namo Narayanaya". Thirumangai Azhwar says chanting the names of the Lord who reclines on serpent bed at Thirukudanthai, the Lord who took Varaha(Boara) Avatar to retrieve the world from Hirayyaksha, the Lord who is capable of fulfilling all wishes, the Lord who vanquished and demolished Ravana's army of demons and the Lord who measured both upper and Lower worlds with his two feet, is accomplished by chanting Thirumanthram. Usage of  "கிடந்த, இடந்த, கடந்த, நடந்த"  associated with "நம்பி"  not only reflects his literary skills but he also uses it to refer to Lord of Thirunaraiyur Nambi.

Here is a presentation on Mangalasasanam to Lord of Thirunaraiyur through Thirumangai Azhwar's Peria Thirumozhi pasuram  "கிடந்த நம்பி குடந்தை மேவிக் கேழ லாயுலகை "

The pasuram presented below is by Nammazhwar. 

Nammazhwar was known by the name of Maran from childhood. He was different from other children and pretty abnormal in day-to-day activities and his parents gave him the name Maran, indicating that he was unique and different from the children of his age.  Nammazhwar's parents tried everything under their control to get the child back to normal and ultimately surrendered to Athinatha perumal in Thirukurugoor and left the child under his care. The child moved on its own from Athinathar sannathi into a Tamarind tree in the temple complex and stayed there for 16 long years almost immobile. There was big transformation in Maran at the age of 16.

Nammazhwar composed and sang four prabhandhams namely Thiru Viruththam, Thiruvasiriyam, Peria Thiruvandhadhi and Thiruvaaimozhi reflecting Rig, Yajur, Atharvana and Sama veda. These Divya Prabhandhams got the name Dravida Veda Sagaram because they were in Tamil and essence of corresponding Sanskrit Veda

In this Thiruvaaimozhi pasuram "மூவுலகங் களுமாய் அல்லனாயுகப் பாய்முனிவாய் ", Nammazhwar performs Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thiruvinnagar. Nammazhwar says " Lord Oppiliappan! You preside over the the divya desam of Thiruvinnagar worshiped by Devas.  It is amazing that you have created objects, people, moods and other things  which are on opposite side of the pendulam. You created the three worlds that are temporary and normally undergoes the process of creation, preservation and destruction. But at the same time you created a permanent world for Nithyasuris which does not undergo these processes. You created likes and dislikes. You created Mahalakshmi representing wealth and Moodevi representing poverty.  Then there is the fame and Blame.You created. You are also the Paranjothi( Heavenly Divine light) that lives inside my heart."
