nAngai nan-naDuvuL-sem-pon sei kOil

 

No I am not blabbering. It is the wonder of thirumangai mannan's work

which make me wonder and wonder repeatedly.

 

Thirumangai AzhwAr worshipped sri pEar-aruLALan at "sem-pon sei kOil"

of thirunAngUr. He did this with the purushakAram of pirAtti "

 

"pEAr aNidhu vulagathavar thozhudhEathum pEAr aruLALan empirAnai,

vAraNi mulaiyAL malarAL malar magaLODu maN magaLum vudan niRpa.."

 

The beatuy is that, AzhwAr narrates the topography of this dhivya

dhEsam as at the centre of nAngUr dhivya dhEsam-s

 

"...sEraNi mADA nAnagai nan-naDuvuL sem-pon sei kOil.." 4-3-1;

 

and " thEn amar sOlai nAngai nan-naDuvuL sem-pon sei kOil" 4-3-10;

 

There are eleven dhivya-dhEsam-s of thiru-nAngUr. Eleven thiru-mozhi-s.

 

maNi mADAk kOil, vaikuntha viNNagaram, arimEya viNNagaram ,

thiruthEvanAr thogai and vaN purudOthamam

5 precede this 'sem-pon sei kOil' thirumozhi.

 

thirutheRRi ambalam, thiru-maNikkUDam, kAvaLam pADi, aNNan kOil and thirup pArthan paLLi

5 thiru-mozhi-s follow this thirumozhi

 

ideally placing this thirumozhi on exactly middle of the eleven thiru-mozhi-s.

 

Not only the dhivya-dhEsam is placed in centre but the thiru-mozhi is also placed so by AzhwAr.
