Dear SrI Raghavan: VaguLAbharaNan is the name of Swamy NammAzhwAr. He wears a VaguLa Pushpa Maalai of unfading fragrance. VaguLa BhUshanan , SaThAri Soori , SaThakOpan are the other names by which Swamy NammAzhwAr is adressed . The angitha nAmams by which he refers to HImself in His SrI Sookthis are : KuruhUr SaThakOpan , Thenn KuruhUr SaThakOpan , VaNN KuruhUr SaThakOpan , Mannu KuruhUr SaThakOpan , Vazhuthi VaLa Naadan KuruhaikkOn SaThakOpan Mali Puhazh VaNN KuruhUr SaThakOpan KuruhUr Nahar KaaRi MaaRan SaThakOpan TenkuruhUr MaaRan SaThakOpan The most direct reference to VaguLa Maalai worn by Him is seen in ThiruvAimozhi: 4.10.11: " aatccheythAzhip-pirAnai chErnthavan VaNN KuruhUr NaharAn NaaDDk-kamazh mahizh mAlai mArbhinan MaaRan SaThakOpan --" Here Swamy NammAzhwAr gives a complete description of Himself , His place of origin (birth) , His father 's name and who He is His Lord . Direct reference in His own words about the Mahizham Poo Maalai decorating His chest region is described as " NaaDDkkamazh mahizh maalai mArbinan " in the third line quoted above . In ThiruvAimozhi 5.8.11 , Swamy NammAzhwAr refers to as " Poom Pozhil Soozh KuruhUr SaThakOpan ". The reference is to KuruhUr with gardens having fragrant flowers. Now e knoow where the NaaDDkkamazh ( forever fragrant , VaadAtha maNam udaya ) Mahizhampoo came from . Those who have had the bhAgyam of smelling Mahizham Poo will never forget its persisitign fragrance . The fragrance of never-fading ThiruvAimozhi and other SrI Sookthis emanate from the VaguLa Pushpa Maalai.
