Perumal has physically done lots of things in His avatArams. In order to make 
Himself more accessible to us, He decided to descend in ArchA roopam. 

?pinnAnAr vanangum sOdhi ThirumoozhikkalathAnai?

Since we are lagging in kAlam, we cannot enjoy his leela in avatArams. 
NammAzhwar has enjoyed the Perumal in sayana thirukkOlam in ThirukkOlUr and 
Thiruppulingudi as

?kotiyaar maadak kOLu ragaththum puLingudiyum, madiyaa thinnE neethuyil mEvi 
magizndhathuthaan, adiyaar allal thavirththa achaivO? anREl,ip padidhaan neendu 
thaaviya achaivO? paNiyaayE.?

Here he asks Perumal whether He has become tired in protecting His Bhaktas, and 
has decided to be in this beautiful sayana        ThirukkOlam. 

Similarly Thirumazhisai Azhwar enjoys the sayana ThirukkOlam of MannAthan in 
ThiruvallikkEni as,

?thaaLaal ulagam aLandha asaivEkol, vaaLaa kidandharuLum vaaythiRavaan, - 
nILOdham vandhalaikkum maamayilai maavallik kENiyaan, aindhalaivaay naagath 
thaNai??

Thirumazhisai Azhwar asks MannAthan whether He is very tired after measuring 
the worlds in vAmana avatAram, and hence decided to be in this sayana 
ThirukkOlam in the sea shore of ThiruvallikkEni, so that the water of the sea 
will hit the feet of Perumal to give Him cooling effect.

Swami Desikan has also indicated sisirOpachAram done by the Padhukai of Raman 
to Bhoomi PirAtti as,

?ahnAya rAmavirahAth pariKhinnavrutthE: AshvAsanAya BhavatI maNipAdharakshE! 
teerThABhiShEkamapadhishya vasunDharAyA: chakrE thadhA samuchitham 
shishirOpachAram? 

He refers to the cooling effect provided by PattAbishEkam of Raman?s Padhukai 
to the earth (Bhoomi PirAtti). She was suffering from the separation of Raman 
for a long time.

Perumal as an archA murty needs sisirOpachAram. This is one of the purposes of 
utsavams like Kodai utsavam. Similar to the above sisirOpachArams, 
Thiruukkacchi Nambigal did ThirvAlavatta kaimkaryam (visiri) to Perarulalan. 

What made him choose this Perumal for this kaimkaryam?



Let us enjoy the answer to this question in next posting,

aDiyEn,

ramanan
