Thirumangai mannan's anubhavam.
It is a known fact that thirumangai mannan had
numerous meetings and experiences with several dhivya-dhesa
emperumAn-s..
Let us see just one of them
I. IN the eighth hundered, second ten ,
third pAsuram
"aruvi sOr vEnkatam nEr malai enRu
vAi
veruvinAL, meyyam vinavi
irukkinRAL,
perugu sEr kaNNapuram enRu
pEasinAL
vuruginAL vuL melindhAL idhu en kolO"
8-2-3 periya thiru mozhi.
Suffering from pangs of separation from the Lord-
parAkAla nAyaki - pines for thiruvEnkatam .
ThiruvEnkatam is a dhivya dhEsam abundant with
catastrophes. This will to an extent help AzhwAr to cool down.
Hence, she called for vEnkatam.
Next, the rescue call was towards nEr malai-
thirunEr malai- thirunEr malai is a dhivya-dhEsam surrounded by water in those
days.It used to be full of water for 6 months and for the rest 6
months the water used to come down to normal
level.
This also helped the AzhwAr to get pacified to some
extent.
The next dhivya-dhEsam to be remembered was
"meyyam' -thiru-meyyam- thiru meyyam emperumAn being sathya mUrthy is a person
who has taken true oath as per His name to do anything for the sake of His
devotees. Hence, the thought of this dhivya-dhEsam.
Now she started talking about thirukkaNNapuram
-full of wealth and auspicious qualities- and melted
instantaneously.
She talked and melted. Though talking about
thirukaNNapuram and melting are sequentially placed, in actual it seemed that
these two events are one and the same. The commentary is apt in this
regard:
" pEsuvadhOr avasthaiyum, vuruguvadhOr
avashtaiyum anRikkEa, pEsina vAyodE nErpaNdamAi
ninRaL."
That is instead of being two
happenings, talking about thirukkaNNapuram and melting down AzhwAr melted on
talking about thirukkaNNapuram.
We were seeing what happened to AzhWar 's on seeing
the Lord. Here, thirumangai AzhwAr's prAvaNyam on talking about thirukaNNapuram
is highlighted.
