Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thiruppavai and Divyadesams by Sri PB Annangarachariar Swami Pasuram: ThoomaniDivyadesam: Thirukkadigai The divyadesam of Thirukkadigai is also known asGadikachalam and Cholasimhapuram. In his pasuramabout this divyadesam, Thirumangaiyazhvar sings "mikkAnai maRaiyAy virindha viLakkai" (PeriyaThirumozhi 8-9-4), describing the Lord as a lamp. Acharyas use the terms "kudaththil itta viLakku" and "kunRil itta viLakku". The former is a lampkept inside a pot - which will not spread itslight around; the latter is a lamp placed on topof a hill - that will spread its light everywhere. In this pasuram, Andal says "thUmaNi mAdaththu suRRum viLakkeriya" describing a lamp placed ata high place spreading its light around. Therefore,it is appropriate to experience the Lord at Thirukkadigai, who is literally the lamp placed on top of the kadigai mountain, through this pasram.
