UrdhvapuNDrakAya nama:

 

Salutations to that wise AchAryan , who established

the necessity for adorning Urdhva PuNDrams based on

direct Veda Vaakyams in use today(Prathyaksha PramANams)!

 

Urdhva PuNDram is the TirumaNN Kaappu (protection

afforded to one through the adornment of upward

shaped sacred white clay along with SrI ChoorNam

in the middle ). VaishNavAs are required to wear

the 12 Urdhva PuNDrams every day .They recite

the 12 names from Kesavan to DaamOdharan and

invoke those EmperumAns on the appropriate

sections of their upper torsos and salute them .

They are said to reside in those sections of

the body in the form of PuNDrams .Sawmy Desikan

composed a Tamil SrI Sookthi known as Panniru ThirunAmam

to recite while adorning these Thiru MaNN Kaappus.

 

Swamy Desikan pointed out the necessity for

VaishNavAs to adorn these 12 Urdhva PuNDrams

based on PramANams from MahOpanishad , KaDa

Saakhai ( DhruthOrdhva PuNDram), Atharva Vedam

and other Veda manthrams , which make specific

mention of the need to wear the 12 Urdhva PuNDrams.

linked with the names of Kesavan, NaarAyaNan , Maadhavan ,

GOvindhan,VishNu , Madhusoodanan , Thrivikraman , Vaamanan ,

SrIdharan , HrushIkEsan , PadhmanAnhan and DaamOdharan.
