Azhwars and Urdhvapundram

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

I am trying to find references in azhwar pasurams where azhwar talks

about either (1) his/her wearing the tiruman-srichurnam (2) vaishanavas

around him/her wearing the same. I am curious about the outward appearance

of vaishnavas in those times.

 

Any info/refs will be very useful.

Dear Kasturi,

 

Yesterday I was talking to my father (Krishnan Iyengar of

ThiruvallikEni) about this question and he mentioned this line pAsuram

4.4.7 of thiruvAimozhi -

 

neeRusev vEyidak kaaNil

'nedumaal adiyaar'en ROdum,

 

Here he said, 'neeRu' is thirumaN and 'sevvE iduthal' is equivalent to

the way 'nedumAl adiyAr' (srivaishnavAs) wear it. Srichurnam, according to

him, need not be explicitly mentioned, since thiruman and srichurnam are as

inseparable as perumAl and thAyAr.

 

I guess, this question was posted quite earlier and please enlighten

if you've received any other answers for that.

 

Regards

Balaji
