SrI:

 Dear BhakthAs:

 Today , we will study the Fourth  paasuram of Thirumangai
 on ThirukkOttiyUrAn .

Fourth Paasuram :
 ********************
yErum yERi ilangum oNN mazhup-paRRum Isarkku isainthu udambilOr
kooRu thAnn kodutthAn Kula-maamatkku- iniyAn
nARu saNpaka mallikai  malar pulhi inniLa-vaNDu
nall naRum tERal vaay madukkum ThirukkottiyUrAnE

(Meaning) : The Lord of ThirukkOttiyUr , who presented His
broad chest as the fitting palace for the residence of Sri DEvi
wished to confer a boon on His grandson , Rudran , who has
the bull as his vAhanam and a beautiful mazhu ( short club
with an axe at its side) as his weapon . Thus , ThirukkOttiyUrAn
demonstrated His soulabhyam  and souseelya guNams by
accomodating Rudran on the right side of His sacred body
( ThirumEni) . At His dhivya dEsam of ThirukkOttiyUr , the honey
bees enjoy honey from the fragrant Mallikai(Jasmine)  flowers
and wander around performing  Hari Naama sankeerthanam .

Fifth Paasuram
*******************
Vanga-maa-kadal-vaNNan Maa-maNivaNNan viNNavar-kOmAn
madhu-malart-thongal NeeNN-mudiyAn NediyAn padi kadanthAn
mangul-thOy-maNi-maada veNN-koDi maaham-meethu uyarnthu yERi
vaan-uyar thingaL-thAnn-aNavum ThirukkOttiyUrAnE

(Meaning): The Lord of ThirukkOttiyUr has the svabhAvam
( intrinsic nature) as the deep ocean housing all mysteries.
He has a lustrous glow like a bluish-black gem . He is the Lord of
Nithya sooris like AdhisEshan and Garudan . He adorns a tall crown
on His siras . In His avathAram as Thrivikraman , He measured
the entire universe with One step. At His dhivya dEsam of
ThirukkOttiyUr , the gem-laden mansions carrying white
banners reach up to the sky , where the Moon roams .
the height  of the sky .

The dhana (material wealth) samruddhi (abundance) of
the blessed citizens of this dhivya dEsam is referred to here .

Paasuram 6
*************
Kaavalan Ilangaikku iRai kalanga charam sela uytthu
maRRavan yEvalam tavirtthAn yennayALudai EmpirAn
naavalam bhuvi mannar vanthu vaNanga Maal uEaihinrathu
ingu  yena Devar vanthu iRainjum ThirukkOttiyUrAnE

Here the glories of the AkAr vaachya Sarva rakshakan
( the protector of all celebrated by the letter "A" in PraNavam)
is celebrated as One , who incarnated as Lord Raamachandran
to rid the world of the dangers posed by RaavaNan , the king of
LankApuri.  Azhwar describes the scene , where the kings of
Jambhu dhveepam -- celebrated in VishNu purANam--
and the dEvAs from the celestial regions throng to have
the blessed darsanam of ThirukkOttiyUrAn .

(Meaning) : Here at ThirukkOttiyUr , my Sarva Swamy resides ;
He is the protector of all and took the Vibhava avathAram as
Raamabhadran to destroy the power of the arrows of
the king of Lankaa (RaavaNan) with the power of His
own arrows and destroyed  him in the battle . He is worshipped by
the assembly of kings from Jambhu Dhveepam ( Naavalam Bhuvi) .
Here resides with delight Soumya NaarAyaNan and is the object of
worship by the Muppatthu mukkODi dEvAs.

One Srimath BAgavatha SlOkam spells out the importance of
worshipping Lord Raamachandra by all including DevAs , Humans
asurAs (VibhishaNa) or animals ( Monkeys , Bears as in RaamAvathAram):

surOsurO vaapyaTa vaanarO nara:
sarvAthmanA ya: sukruthaj~nam utthamam
bhajEtha Raamam manujAkruthim Harim
ya: uttharAnanayathkOsalAndhivam

--- Srimath BhAgavatham : 5.19.8

(Meaning) : Whether one is Dean or asuran or human or a monkey ,
they should all make a special effort to worship Raamachandran.
He is the Supreme among the gods . He will never forget anyone ,
who makes even a small effort to perform aarAdhanam for Him .
One should therefore worship the most merciful Lord of Utthara-
Kosala dEsam , whose citizens were lifted to Sri Vaikuntam at
the end of His avathAram .

The manthram for the worship of Raamachandran offered by
Sukha Brahmam in Srimath Bhaagavatham is :

Om namO BhagavathE Utthama slOkAya nama aarya lakshaNa
seela-vrathAya nama upasikshithAthmana upAsitha-lOkAya nama:
Saadhu-vaadha-nikashaNAya namO BrahmaNya-dEvAya MahApurushAya
MahA-RaajAya Nama ithi

-- Srimath Bhaagavatham : 5.19.3

(Meaning): Salutations to the Utthama slOki , who is the embodiment of
PraNavam ! NamaskArams to the Lord , who has the suspicious conduct
and vows of the revered elders ! Salutations to the Lord , who has absolute
control over His indhriyams(senses) and who is fully familiar with the ways
of the world ! NamaskArams to the lofty One , who is the reference object
( urai kall) for the Saadhus ( Knowledgable about VedAs). He is very fond of
those Veda Viths. NamaskArams to that PurushOtthaman and Emperor of
the Universe , Sri Raamachandran !

Soumya NaarAyaNa ParabrahmanE Nama:
Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VraradAchAri Sadagopan
