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.
