Dear All, Let us continue the journey of chozha nadu. We all have parakalanayaki with us now. She is taking us to a Divya Desam where the Perumal looks very beautiful and is kind of very hale and healthy kid. It is difficult to resist from pinching his cheeks, like how we do with kids. It was a complete bliss with the purattasi crowd there. adiyen cannot have imagined to get a better darshan of "AzhagiyAr". Not just this. The archargars inside were really good. Despite the corwd there, they did the sevai of Perumal with Azhwar's pasuram and blessed all of us with thier graceful look. Adding to this, for some reason or the other, the archagar swamy distributing the prasadam gave handful of prasadam to adiyen. It was quite unexpected. This Divya Desam was the highlight in adiyen's entire trip. Azhiyum sangum yEandhi nambar nam illam pugundhu ninRAr-nAgarEkar peridhum iLayar' ....acchO oruvar azhagiyavA! (PT 9.2.4) Known as Thirunagai, this Divya Desam is located in Nagapattinam. The perumal is known as Sowndararajan. ThAyAr is known as Sowndaryavalli. Azhwar calls Perumal as Nagai AzhagiyAr. Azhwar calls him as the one who enters all our house. He looks very beautfiul with his sanghu and chakkaram in his hands. palmani mutthodu ilangu sOthi, aadaham poonda oru naanku thOLum acchovoru azhagiyavA! (PT 9.2.2) He shines with many kinds of gems and pearls s a Param jyOthi with four beautiful shoulders as Sowndararajan. This was typically the anubhavam for adiyen in this lovely Divya Desam. He was completely adorned with all the jewels on the purattasi saturday evening. It is time that we need to enter the territory of Kaliyan. Where would she have gone? This is how Parakalanayaki's thAyAr wonders about her daughter...... adiyen, ramanan
