SRI:
Dear Sriman Aravind :
You wanted to know the
Sanskrit equivalent of
Thiruneermalai ThAyAr's name
in Tamil :
" aNi maa malar Mangai ".
First , we should
understand the meanings of
the FOUR words
joining together as a Naamaa
for our Mother
at
Thiruneermalai.
These FOUR words are :
aNi+ maa+malar +Mangai
There are 20 Paasurams of two AzhwArs on
Thiruneermalai including one from BhUthatthAzhwAr
;
the others are from Thirumangai Mannan , where
you
come across these words.
aNi = azhagiya , beautiful
maa= big or Lakshmi
malar= flower , here the lotus
flower
mangai = maiden /kumaari , who has
just
crossed the stage of yuvathy
.
aNi maamalar mangai literally means
the beautiful
lady associated with the big lotus
flower , who is
none other than Sri Devi, the dharma
pathni of the Lord .
adiyen will translate therefore
"aNImaamalar Mangai " as
SUNDARA PANKAJA VALLI
.
She is seated in
front of Her Husband on a throne of mighty lotus
(maamalar ) according to Swamy Desikan's SrI
Sthuthi:
" agrE bharthu: sarasijamayE bhadrapeeDE
nishaNNAm "
May this " Sakala Buvana PrarTanA KaamdhEnu
" worshipped
at Thiruneermalai as " aNi maamalar Mangai"
bless us all
during this dheepAvaLi season !
NarAyaNa ,
NaarAyaNa , NaarAyaNa !
