Deemed dhivya-dhEsam
 
When AzhwAr-s sing in praise of the Lord  of any place the place becomes divine and becomes a -dhivya-dhEsam.
 
The name of the dhivya-dhEsam is genrally spelt out clearly in the AzhwAr-s thiruppAsuangaL and the identification is easy.
 
Even if one of the pAsuram-s are not so transaprent, pAsuram by some other AzhwAr-s can be resorted to.
 
What happens when there is only one pAsuram but does not spell out the name of the place in a categorical manner?
The commentaries which reflect the inner thought of AzhwArs have to be resorted to.
 
The An-mugan thiruvandhAdhip pAsuram -50 spells out :
"..ARRam karaik kidakkum kaNNan kadal kidakkum..."  and the vyAkyAnam by sri periyavAchAn piLLai which is the reflection of the thoughts of pUrvAchAryA-s and the inner thought of thiru-mazhisai AzhwAr, attributes and deems this to the dhivya-dhESam -kavithalam.
 
Is it not then a dhivya-dhEsam -not just attributed but deemed dhivya-dhEsam-though not openly mentioned in the pAsuram.
 
Some pAsuram-s have been dedicated on certain places like mannArgudi -thERpArai- oru-nAyakam. However, these are not a part of 108 (mannArgudi, thiru-nArAyaNapuram) .
This dhivya-dhEsam is a deemed one and is a part of 108.
