SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Thus for these bhakti yogis as well as for others for them to enjoy the divya mangaLa vigraham always in this very world itself, EmperumAn shows Himself so gracefully in the divya desams. The divya desam deities are so beauitfiul and are easily accessible and enjoyable. yErAr muyal vittu kaakkai pin povadhaen? AzhwAr mentions here the unparalleled Supremacy of Sriman Narayanan and mentions ThirukkaNdiyur divya desam where His parathvam is established. Only after realizing His Parathvam, one gets to enjoy other divya desams like Srirangam, ThirukkaNdiyoor is mentioned first. piNtiyAr maNtai En^thip piRarmanai thirithan^ thuNNum, uNtiyAn sApam theerththa oruvanoor, ulaka mEththum kaNtiyUr arangkam meyyam kassipEr mallai enRu maNtinAr, uyyal allAl maRRaiyArk kuyya lAmE? 19 piNdiaar maNdai yEndhi- for a long time it was held in the hand and hence it started to bcome almost like the powder, - such a skull of brahma was held piRar manai thirithandhiu- loitering and wandering at the door steps of otherss? houses for begging with that skull in the hand; uNNun- with the help of such begging, surviving and sustaining muNdiyaan- the shaven headed Rudran?s saapam theerttha- paapam (sin) was cured and dissolved by Oruvan- the Unparalleled One ? Supreme Lord Paravasudevan- Peerless One Oor- divya desams are ulagam yEtthum- as praised by the whole world, namely thirukkaNdiyoor, thiruvarangam, thirukkacchi, thirukadal mallai, etc., enRu- these divya desams are ALL the residence of the Lord who cures all sorrows of BrahmA, Rudra and other devas; advitheeyan ? Peerless One and if they reach there to pay their obeisance and immerse themselves in the enjoyment of Divya mangaLa virgaham therein; allAL- but for such bhagawathOtthamAs? who enjoy the Lord and with the enjoyment in His Divya Desam) maRRaiyaarkku- for others uyyalaamE- is there any way to get saved? (NONE AT all) AzhwAr had enjoyed in Periya Thirumozhi where AzhwAr went from one divya desam to the other and had immense bliss of enjoying the divya mangaLa vigraham therein. AzhwAr here says only those bhagawathas who enjoy these deities and immerse themselves in the guNAs and Parathvam of the Lord would be able to focus on bhakti yoga (as described in 19th verse) or thorugh Saranagati to get saved quickly. Others (with the other devathas) can not get saved. ThirukkaNdiyoor Divya Desa perumAN is named Harachaapa haran- the one who cured the sin of haran (Rudran). ThiruppANAzhwAr?s thuNda veNNpiRaiyan thuyar theerthavan also refers the same. Rudra?s thuryar (sorrow) was the Kapaalam that got stuck to his palm and the curse of his father (brahmA) that required him to move like a nomad from place to place begging for food. Sriman Narayana blessed Sivan as Hara Saapa vimOchana Murthy and there after the skull fell from Sivan?s palm and he resumed his normal life. AzhwAr reminds us that Sivan could not take care of his problems and if so how can he help others ? Thus, one gets to know the Supreme position of Sriman Narayanan from such divya desams. Sri Satakopan Swami comments: Sarvesvara Tattvam of the Lord is saluted by the Azhwaar in this Pasuram. He salutes Hara Saapa Vimochana Murthy of Kandiyur Divya Desam along with the presiding Archaa Murthys of other sacred sites such as Srirangam, Thirumeyyam, Kanchi, Thirupper and Mallai. Additional notes: It is told that sivan and brahma both had 5 heads. To avoid confusion sivan plucked out one head from brahma's head. That got stuck to his hand (brahmaharthi dhOsham). To get rid of this sivan tried all ways and means but it did not go. The solution offered to sivan was to beg his food using that kapaalam (maNdai Odu) as the container. Whoever gives food so that the kapaalam is full then automatically the kapaalam will leave the hand of sivan. He begged to all. But only when he came to naaraayaNan [Thirumaal] he offered his sweat (or blood) from his Chest saying akshayyam into the kapaalam. It got filled and left sivan's hand. So the Lord only can give relief in such hard circumstances. Thus, Sivan was a Karma vasyan, who got his exalted position due to his austerities and it is Sriman Narayanan alone, who can bless us with all kinds of PurushArTams including Moksham. Thus, from the incomplete Darsana Samanaakaram state(resembling direct seeing) of Bhakthi Yogam, the Azhwaar goes on to the ACTUAL experience of feasting one's eyes on the Subhaasrayam (Thirumeni) of the Archamurthys of the different Divya Desams.
