The Valour of
NAngUrians
Once pAndiA kings advanced aggressively
towards thiru-nAnguUr and the brAhmins of this dhivya-dhEsam retaliated
appropriately and drove them off.
This was not a flash on the pan. When
chOzha kings visited this place with hostile intentions, they were all
made to take a retreat by the same inmates relecting the valour and
bravery.
Sri thirumangai mannan who is
himself a great brave AzhwAr appreciates this in two pAsuram-s of
thiru-nAngur. One in thiru-dhEvanAr thogai thirumzohi and another in thiru-maNik
kUdam thiru-mozhi.
"mA varum thiN paDai
mannai veNRi koLvAr mannu nAngUr" 4-1-2; and in
"...oN thiRal thiNNan
ODa vada arasu vOttam kaNDa.." 4-5-6;
The staple occupation of brAhmins are
reciting and incucating vEdham-s. That they are indeed displaying their valour
and bravery is a rare exception. This is highlighted in these
pAsuram-s.
