SHALAGRAMAM MANGALASASANAM.
kalaiyum kariyum

A Rishi named ‘ Saubhari’, took many forms to enjoy the materialistic wealth. Whereas, EmperumAn manifested himself in many divine abodes to enjoy his devotees. 
AzhvAr, after explaining about the benefits he attained through the mantropadesam and the greatness of the abodes of nara -NArAyanA where it was implemented, he sought of decided to settle down.  Having other plans for AzhvAr, EmperumAn wanted him to visit other kshEtrams, starting from  SHALAGRAMAM and therefore revealed himself to AzhvAr to begin his journey.

988. Lord rAma (chakravarti tirumagan) aided by bow and arrow, went past the dense forest habitated with deers, elephants and horses.

Having ‘tiruooragam’, as one of his abode, Lord Purushothaman, who reclines in tirukkuDandai, bending the ends of the bow and showing his valour shattered the army of the rAkshasAs, incapable to comprehend the might they have to oppose, when once Karan came to battle against him. He is the one who resides in ‘tiruppErnagar’, surrounded by the perennial Cauvery. He is the one known by thousand names that reflect his divine attributes (kalyana gunam).

He who is affluent in all ways and doesn’t have to take alms, took the sacred form of dwarf vAmana,  and upon asking and receiving three measures of land from king mahAbali, emerged gigantically  measuring  all the seven lokAs.

995. Adorning himself with a garland made of skull from the deceased (vEndAr enbum) and smearing himself with the ashes of the dead (sudu nIRum meyyil pUsik), lord shiva wandered around all the lokAs, in despair seeking help, to remove the stuck brahma kabAlam that had holes and could never be filled by anyone, from his hand that he acquired on account of a curse. He finally went to sarvEshwaran and pleaded..

“My swAmi, my saviour (en EndhAy!), please get this curse rid off me”. That very moment, he got rid of his curse, when you sprinkled the nectarous water from your chest. 

My dear heart, reach shAlagrAmam that is the eternal abode of this lord, surrounded by sandle woods groves. SHALAGRAMAM ADAI NENJE! (8)

996.An assemblage of srivaishnavAs, ever immersed in Bagavath kainkaryam (toNDAm inamum), the nithyasoories (imaiyOr), the Brahmins who wear two strands of sacred thread on their chest, all approach the lord of this ksEtram discretely, pleading him, “Oh!, lord who govern the entire universe, protect us, we who are your devotees”. 

This lord resides here in the picturesque shAlagrAmam, where bees hovering groves along with water bodies are found all over the surroundings. The kayal fish of the paddy fields leaps and rejoice as the cool lotus flower blooms. 

My dear heart, reach this place called ‘shAlagrAmam’.

997. All wise people, who wish to rule paramapadam, the abode of the nithyasoories, chant the thousand names of the lord, who is the supreme ruler. If that becomes impossible, then take all efforts to sing these ten garland of songs set to tune by kaliyan the king of

The 12 Azhwars sang these songs about various sacred shrines and the presiding Deity of the shrine, that came to be known as the Divya Desams. There are 108 Divya Desams. 105 in India, 1 in Nepal  and the last two believed to be beyond the Earthly realms.

KANNINUN SIRUTAMBU PASURAMS 937 - 947 Madhurakavi azhvAr in these 11 verses talks in detail about his reverence to his AchArya. It is generally said that, one should not pronounce the mantram taught openly to others, but talk and propagate the glory of the guru or AchArya who taught us the mantrAs. Madhurakavi AzhvAr having found his guru in Nammazhwar propounded about his greatness and the pleasure attained thereafter. 937.kaNNi nuN chiRuththAmbinAl  kattuNNap

*PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 9* *PASURAMS 730—740* *Van tALiNai* (thanayan vanam pugath dhasarathan pulambudhal) In this decade AzhvAr talks about the misfortune of king dasharathA. He thinks that, there can be none like DasarathA, who would have    suffered to this extent, the separation of rAma. DasarathA's grief and regret of sending rAma to the forest is vividly explained here. 730 * vanthALiniNai vaNangki vaLanagaram thozhudhEththa * mannanAvAn ninRAyai * ariyaNai mEl irundhAyai * nedungkAnam padarap pOgu enRAL ** em irAmAvO! * unaip payandha kaikEsi than soRkEttu * nanRAga nAnilaththai ALviththEn * nanmaganE! unnai nAnE (1) 730.

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 10

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 10 PASURAMS 741 TO 751   angkan nedDumadil   *RAMAYANA SANGRAHAM* kulasEkara perumAl moves from Vibhava form ( the incarnation state) to archa form (the idol state). Reminded of GOVINDARAJA PERUMAL of TILLAI NAGARAM, he sees him as rAma of chitrakooTam and wishes to sing about rAma. Hence this kshEtram is known as *TIRUCHITTIRAKOODAM* also referred as “punDareekapuram”. He sings the essence of entire rAmAyaNa in this decade. As this Azhwar is so much engrossed with rAma and this entire Tirumozhi is about rAmAyaNa, it is called RAMAYANA SANGRAHAM.   741 SHRI RAMA JANANAM (BALA KANDAM) 741 * angkaNedu madhiL pudai sUzh ayOdhdhi ennum * aNi nagaraththu ulaganaiththum viLakkum sOdhi * vengkadhirOn kulaththukkOr viLakkAyth thOnRi * viN muzhudhum uyak koNda vIran thannai ** sengkaNedung karumugilai irAman thannaith * thillainagarth thiruchchithrakUdam thannuL * engkaL thani mudhalvanai emperumAn thannai * enRu kolO! kaN kuLirak kANum nALE (2) (1) In the world’...

 PERIYAZHWAR TIRUMOZHI - 4.5 PASURAMS 371 - 380 4.5 - AASAIVAI Azhwar's advise.  Here Azhwar advises to involve in nAma sankeertanam and hence  name our children after HIS divine name so that we utter his nAmam automatically. 371:## aasaivaay senRa sindhaiyaraahi* annai aththan enpuththirar boomi* vaasavaar kuzhalaaL enRu mayaNGgi* maaLum ellaik kaNvaay thiRavaadhE* kEsavaa! purushOththamaa! enRum* kEzhalaakiyakEdilee! enRum* pEsuvaaravar eydhum perumai* pEsuvaan puhil n^am paramanRE.

Even as the soul is leaving the body, do not let your mind  waver  and lament - “my mother, father, children, land and my wives with fragrant hair”, instead cry out KESAVA, PURUSHOTHAMA, THE BLEMISHLESS VARAHA MOORTHY!!. No words can explain the bliss that one gets by chanting these names.
