thiruvarangam or
thiru-vENkaTam
Sri thirumangai AzhwAr's extreme devotion
is being described by her mother. The status of parakAla nAyaki's bakthi
pAravasyam towards sri ranganAthan of srirangam is narrated by her
mother.
It is mentioned by the mother that
parakAla nAyaki without fear openly says "vENkaTamEA!
vENkaTAmEa"
Now, what is this? The devotion is towards
thiruvarangam Lord. But the words are about
thiru-vENkaTam.
It is said that the Almighty descends from
parama-padham to thiru-varangam via thriumalai. He stands in thirumalai and then
settles down at thiruvarangam. The thiruvarangam is likened by our pUrvAchAryAs
to thriu-nADu and the kAvEri to vrajA.
AzhwAr's bakthi pAravasyAm is so intense
that it commences from the roots-- thiruvENkaTam. That is what sri
thiruppAN AzhwAr also did in amalanAdhippirAn by talking of thirumalai in the
third pAsuram.
Sri peiryavAchAn piLLai summarises this
crisply "periya perumALuDiaya, inguthai varavAREA pidithu
ARRAmaikku vudalampaDi kANum piRandhadu pravaNAdhisayam'
"veruvAdhAL vAi veruvi
'vENkaTamEA! vENkaTAmEA" enginRALAl.." 5-5-1;
