Thiruppavai and Divyadesams -18

 

Pasuram: Undhumadha

Divyadesam: Thirunaraiyur

 

Thirunaraiyur is also known as Nachchiyar Koyil.

 

As per the sthala purana, predominance is

present with Nachchiyar in this divyadesam.

Thirumangai Azhvar's experience of this divyadesam

in Periya Thirumadal should be thought of here -

" mannu maraiyo:r thirunaraiu:r ma:malai po:l

ponniyalum mAdakkavAdam kadandhu pukku ennudaiya

kan kalippa no:kkine:n ... mannu maradhagak kunrin

marungke: Or innila vanjchikkodi onru ninradhu

than annama:y ma:na:y animayilay Angkidaiye: minna:y

ilave:y ira:day inaichcheppa:y munna:ya thondaiya:yk

kendai kulam iranda:y anna thiruvuruvam ninaydhu " .

 

The entire pasuram " undhumadhakaliru " is the

experience of Nachchiyar only. In this pasuram, there

is a phrase " pandha:r virali " - talking about Nachchiyar

holding a ball with Her fingers. In the Periya Thirumozhi

pasuram for Thirunaraiyur (6-7-8) is the phrase

" pandha:r virala:l " .

 

Thus, the divyadesam of Thirunaraiyur is experienced

in this pasuram.

Jai srimannarayana!
