thiruvallikkENi- part 8-a (periya thirumozhi)

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am continuing the ongoing series on thiruvallikkENi by posting the

10 pAsurams from periya thirumozhi. This is by our beloved sri

thirumaN^gai AzhwAr as a maN^gaLAsAsanam on the thiruvallikkENi

dhivya dhEsam. The first 9 of 10 pAsurams end with "thiruvallikkENi

kaNdEnE". In the first portion AzhwAr talks about the greatness of

the perumAl, his kalyANa guNAs, and expresses his immense pleasure.

Then at the end he says, "I am blessed to have the dharshan of the

perumAl at this exquisite place called thiruvallikkENi".

PS:

I am indeed blessed to be born at this dhivya dhEsam (and hence my

last name Triplicane!) When i told my grandfather that i am called

Mr. Triplicane by the westerners here, he felt so happy that i have

created an opportunity for these veLLaikArans (the whites) to

atleast tell the name of the dhivya dhEsam. This was my

grandfather's first response.
