kaN sOra.../sAra -10 (CONCLUDES)

Dear SrEvaishNavites, http://www.pbase.com/image/56421497aDiyEn concludes this

series now and submits this at the thiruvaDigaL of bhAgavathAs. (Please

download the E-book from this group/ or write to aazhwar )I thank

ThiruchERai SrEvaishNavites , especially ThriuchERai Narayanan who was the

one who linked me to ThiruchERai. I thank moderators of , who made

this possible to be spread over the globe.Finally some unique facts on

ThriuchERai. http://www.pbase.com/svami/image/56631544 1. This is termed as

sAra shEthram -sAra pushKaraNi, Sara vimanam, SaranAdhan, SaraNayakith

Thayar.2. This is one of the two Great ThriuMozhis- talking of servitude

tobhagavathas and is categorised into elite class alongiwth

ThiruvAimozhi'payilum sudaroLi and nedumArkadimia in The great AchArya

Hrdhayam. Theother Thriumzohi is 'nannAdh vAL avunar' 2- 6 of Periya

thriumzohi.3.Here kAvErith thAyar is along the pushkaraNai and her grief was

assuagedby Lord krshNA himself. 4. There are two deities here one is sAranathan

and the other is bAla-sAranAdhan. When Sri SAranAdhan is busy the other perumAL

is adorned.This isregular in utsavam-s. In SamprokshNam also when Sri

SaraNadhan was in theforefront of the yAga salai that is the yAga salai being

kept in front ofperumALbAla sAranAthan was decorated as Vennaikku ADum kaNNan

and the wonderfulLord in the sitting posture.5. The sayanth ThriukkOlam has

been done on Al-ilai itself.Sir RamuDubhattar mentioned that this is the usal

procedure followed in the earlierdays.That is no special bed or pillow are

used. The sleeping beauty is aAdum kaNNan vigraham from inside another

sannidhi.6.,The Gopalan legend. When the king who was constructing temple for

MannArkuDi was despatching materials to MannAr kUdi, one of the devotees of

thisdivya-dhEsam, downloaded some materials from each despactch.When the

kingcame to know of this, he visited ThiruchERai and EmperumAn in supoort of

hisdevotee, took the form of GopAlan and this is the vigraham perhaps fromthat

legend.,7.The rAmar vigrham is very old and the beauty of the work is 'seen to

bebelieved'8.The archakas should be commeneded for Sathupadi with great zest

and alsotheir devotion towards aruLichcheyal.9.The key on the laps is not

unique in this part of TamilnAdu. However, it is pertinent to note that the

keys are in the hips of thAyar in the nearby nAchiyAr Koil.10. Sri NElAdhEvi is

a prominent thAyar here. The pancha lakshmi-s here are ubaya nAchiyAr-s,

sAra-lakshmi, nElAdhEvi- ThirumArbu lakshmi.Perhaps - since nElAdhEvi being

here - no ANDAL sannidhi was here for a long time. Some years back, ANDAL

sannidhi has been consecreated on the west side of the sannidhi.I thank all the

SrEvaishNavites of the Lord of ThriuchERai.'thaN sERai EmperumAn thAL thozhuvAr
