Deemed dhivya-dhEsam

When AzhwAr-s sing in praise of the Lord of any place the place becomes divine 
and becomes a -dhivya-dhEsam. 

The name of the dhivya-dhEsam is genrally spelt out clearly in the AzhwAr-s 
thiruppAsuangaL and the identification is easy.

Even if one of the pAsuram-s are not so transaprent, pAsuram by some other 
AzhwAr-s can be resorted to.

What happens when there is only one pAsuram but does not spell out the name of 
the place in a categorical manner?
The commentaries which reflect the inner thought of AzhwArs have to be resorted 
to. 

The An-mugan thiruvandhAdhip pAsuram -50 spells out :
"..ARRam karaik kidakkum kaNNan kadal kidakkum..." and the vyAkyAnam by sri 
periyavAchAn piLLai which is the reflection of the thoughts of pUrvAchAryA-s 
and the inner thought of thiru-mazhisai AzhwAr, attributes and deems this to 
the dhivya-dhESam -kavithalam.

Is it not then a dhivya-dhEsam -not just attributed but deemed 
dhivya-dhEsam-though not openly mentioned in the pAsuram.

Some pAsuram-s have been dedicated on certain places like mannArgudi 
-thERpArai- oru-nAyakam. However, these are not a part of 108 (mannArgudi, 
thiru-nArAyaNapuram) . 
This dhivya-dhEsam is a deemed one and is a part of 108.
