ThiruveLLakkuLa Thiruppathi: Part 1
  a.. Dear BhakthAs :

  One of the 108 divya desams in ChOLa dEsam
  is known as ANNan Koil or ThiruveLLakkuLam .
  The presiding Lord's name here is SrinivAsan and 
  the KshEthram is also known as Thenn Thiruppatthi 
  just as ThiruviNNagar is known as DakshiNa Thiruppathi. 
  The name of the Lord's consort is " PoovAr ThirumahaL "
  or the Lady who sits on the beautiful lotus flower .

  Kaliyan"s SaraNAgathi to MahA Lakshmi
  *************************************

  Thirumangai AzhwAr visualized the consort of 
  the Lord here on the Lord's chest and saluted Her 
  in the spirit of Sri Sooktha r*k and performed 
  saraNAgathi to the Lord through Her :

  Padhma priyE Padmini Padma hasthE
    PadmAlayE Padma daLAyadhAkshi 
  visva priyE VishNu manOnukulE
    tvath paada padmam mayi sannidhathsva

  (Extended Meaning ): Oh MahA Lakshmi , who is very 
  fond of the lotus flower! Oh supreme One holding that lotus
  flower in Your hands ! Oh Mother seated on a golden
  lotus ! Oh the most beautiful One with the eyes resembling
  that of the enchanting petals of a tender lotus !
  Oh parama KaaruNya mUrthy filled with dayA for 
  one and all ! Oh auspicious Lady , who is tuned closely 
  to the wishes of Your Lord ! Please place Your auspicious
  lotus feet on my siras ! 

  After performing SaraNAgathi to Her , Thirumangai
  received Her anugraham and then approached the Lord
  of this divya dEsam and addressed Him movingly as 
  "ANNA " and begged Him to remove all the obstacles
  that obstructed him unitl then to seek and gain 
  the parama purushArtham of Moksham .

  The special significance of this Divya dEsam
  *********************************************

  Thirumangai mannan had a special attachment to
  this divya dEsam . His wife Kumudhavalli NaacchiyAr
  was "born" here; She was instrumental in Thirumangai 
  becoming a parama VaishNavan .In view of the vow 
  he had taken to perform tadhiyArAdahnam for  
  1,000 Sri VaishNavAs every day ( as his wedding vow )
  for one year ,Kaliyan had to resort to day light robbery 
  to raise funds for sustaining this kaimkaryam dear 
  to his wife's heart . 

  On a river bed near here , Kaliyan stalked the Divya 
  Dampathis ( vEdu PaRi ), who came to redeem him 
  and tried to rob them of their divyAbharaNams .
  Our Lord , who arrived there to test and then bless 
  Kaliyan was pleased with the intensity of 
  His bhakthan and initiated him personally into His mUla
  manthram and thereby sent Kaliyan into raptures .
  The most grateful Kaliyan eulogized the Lord
  of Sri Devi presiding at this divya dEsam in rememberance
  through ten magnificient paasurams to record
  his gratitude over the Lord's dayA .

  Location of this divya dEsam and the Lord's sEvai here
  *******************************************************

  This kshEthram is half mile from Thiru DevanAr thokai ,
  seven mile south east of KaazhicchIrAma ViNNagaram and
  seven miles due east of VaitthIsvaran Koil . It has one 
  of the most beautiful PushkaraNis. Once upon a time , the flood
  waters (VeLLam ) subsided and left behind a body of water
  that took the permanent form of a sacred pushkaraNi leading
  to the name of Thiru VeLLakkuLam " to this divya dEsam.On
  the banks of this pushkaraNi , the Lord of this divya desam
  stands with the lotus lady on His Vaksha sthalam as SrinivAsan
  ( PoovAr ThirumahaL pulliya Maarbhan ).He stands under
  the shade of TattvOdhaka VimAnam and blesses SvEtha Raajan ,
  Sri Rudhran , Kaliyan and us . 

  The Echoes of Thirumalai and ThiruviNnagar Paasurams here
  *********************************************************

  The saraNAgathi vaakyams used by Kaliyan at 
  Thirumalai and ThiruviNNagar are echoed in 
  the ten paasurams of ThiruveLLakkuLam . Here are 
  three instances :

  ThiruveLLakkuLam (1) and ThiruvEnkatam (2)
  *****************************************

  TiNNAr mathiL soozh ThiruveLLakkuLatthuL(*) ,
  aNNA ,adiyEn idaraik kaLayAyE (1)


  SeppAr tiNNvarai soozh ThiruvEnata Maamalai(*) ,

  ThEnEy poompozhil soozh ThiruvEnkata maalai(*), 
  Yen aanAi vanthadainthEn adiyEnai aatkoNdaruLE (2)


  ThiruveLlakkuLam(1) and ThiruviNnagar paasurams (2)
  ***************************************************
   
   sElAr vayal soozh ThiruveLlakkulatthuL(*) 
   MaalE, Yenn valvinai theertharuLAyE (1)
              

  (A) sollAi ThirumArvA unakkAhi ThoNDu patta
      nallEnai , vinaikaL naliyAmai nampu NampI 
                 
      MallA KudamADi MadhusoothananE , ulahil
      sella nallisayAi ThiruviNNagarAnE (2)
                       
  The intense mood of the AzhwAr is very much
  the same at the three divya dEsams presided over
  by Lord SrinivAsan. Identical words flow out of 
  Kaliyan's lips at these three divya dEsams 
  having Lord SrinivAsan as their presiding deity.

  Progression of the Pilgrimage of Kaliyan
  *****************************************

  ThiruveLLakkuLam is one of the twelve ThirunAngUr 
  divya dEsams . Kaliyan salutes the Lords of these
  twelve KshEthrams close to his birthplace in the following
  sequence and performs mangaLAsAsanam for them in his
  Periya Thirumozhi(PTM ) :

  1.ThiruvAli-Thirunagari : PTM-3.5,3.6 and 3.7 patthus

  2.ThirunAngUr MaNimADakkOil: PTM-3.8

  3.Sri Vaikuntha ViNNagaram: PTM-3.9

  4.Thiru ArimEya ViNNagaram: PTM-3.10

  5.Thiru DEvanAr Thokai: PTM-4.1

  6.Thiru VaNN puruDOtthamam: PTM-4.2

  7.ThirnAngUr Semponn seykOil: PTM-4.3

  8.ThirunAngUr ThiruttheRRiampalam: PTM-4.4

  9.ThirumaNikkUtam: PTM-4.5

  10.ThirukkAvaLampADi: PTM-4.6

  11.THIRUVELLAKKULAM: PTM-4.7

  12.ThiruppArthan PaLLi: PTM-4.7

  ParakAlan starts his mangalAsAsanam at 
  ThiruvAli Thirunagari, which is very close
  to his avathAra sthalam and concludes the salutations
  at ThiruppArthan PaLLI .In this series of twelve 
  ThirunAngUr Thiruppathis , ThiruveLLakkuLam takes
  the 11th place . The Lords of the divya desams 
  come together on the akshya thrithIyai day (?)
  on Garuda Vaahanam and bless their dearest Bhakthan
  in grateful appreciation .That Twelve Garuda sEvais
  in one location is a blessed sight indeed to see .

  The ten paasurams of Kaliyan on Lord SrinivAsan of 
  b.. ThiruveLLakkuLam in the next posting.
