Part 2

 

Thirukkurukoor is well known as azhwar thriunagari, is

present in the temple town of thirunelvEli. It is well

known as varAha kshEthram. It is believed that

mArkaNdEya maharshi performed penance here, and he in

the form of his ArchA, is present still inside the

AdinAtha perumAL garbhagriham. It is in this very

famous town swAmi nammAzhwAr spent his short span of

earthly life. swAmi was born to the king Kari maharaja

and udayar nankai. As guruparampara believes this

happened on the 42nd day of the beginning of kali

yuga. kAri maharaja, didn’t had offspring’s for a

long time. It is believed that thirukkurunkudi nambi

himself took birth as swAmi nammAzhwar. According to

Shrimad Bhagavatam, The baby in the womb is considered

divine and omniscient. At the time of delivery, just

when the child comes in contact with the outside

would, a particular Vayu called ‘SaTha’ (be careful

about the spelling, it is hard “Tha” , the second

alphabet in the “Ta vargam” alphabets (Ta, Tha, Da,

Dha Na)) envelopes it and makes it forget its divine

quality. Nammalwar with a Humkaram drove it away,

thereby himself keeping and preserving omniscience and

other divine qualities. But Swami Nammazhwar won over

and got rid of the vayu. Hence Swami Nammazhwar is

known as 'SaThagopan'.
