SrI:
 
TaaraNa Samvathsara Panguni Utthiram Day
 
Dear BhakthAs :
 
Now that SrI Sthavam and SrI Vaikunta Sthavam has been
covered and Sriman Anbil Ramaswamy is active in covering
the AthimAnusha Sthavam , adiyEn will commence the postings on
the remaining two Sthavams : (1) Sri Sundara Baahu Sthavam
and (2) SrI VaradarAja Sthavam .  
 
SrI SundarabAhu Sthavam is a big sthavam with 132 slOkams .
KurEsar enjoyed the Vaibhavam of ThirumAlirumchOlai
SundararAja PerumAl intensively as the Six AzhwArs did
through their 128 Paasurams . PeriyAzhwAr , ANDAL , Thirumangai ,
BhUthatthAzhwAr , pEy AzhwAr and  NammAzhwAr have blessed us
with 128 deeply moving Pasaurams about the dhivya Soundharyam of
the Lord celebrated as Azhagar , MaalalankArar , Sundara ThOLudayAn ,
Sundara Baahu , KaLLazhagar. As archA Moorthy , Azhagar's aprAkrutha
soundharyam shines through His aparanji tanga ThirumEni .
 
Here at ThirmAlirumchOlati known otherwise as Azhagar Koil  ,
Lord SundarabAhu enjoys the cool breezes from Vrushabha Giri
and enjoys Thirumanjanam from the waters of SilambARu (Noopura
Ganghai) . Here the Lord is accompanied by Sundaravalli ThAyAr
and resides under Somasundara VimAnam . The fragrant breeze
from the Vrushabha Giri embraces the natural perfume of the Sandal
Wood Trees , which are the Sthala Vrukshams at this dhivya dEsam .
 
KurEsar's ancestors were performing atthANi sEvakam to SundarabAhu
and Sundaravalli ThAyAr for centuries before one of their descendants
settled down in Kooram agrahaaram near Kaanchipuram . Hence ,
KooratthAzhwAn had ancestral links to ThirumAlirumchOlai . In the 76th
SlOkam of SundarabAhu Sthavam , Swamy KurEsar refers to his ancestral
links to ThirumAlirumchOlat :
 
" MaamakAsccha Gurava: purAdhanaa: Sundaram Vanamaheedhragam srithA: "
 
Here , KurEsar states that his ancestors arrived at ThirumAlirumchOlai
and gained Parama PurushArTam through their worship of Azhagar,
who had settled earlier at the foothills of VrushabhAdhri .    
 
This elaborate Sthavam was created by KurEsar at ThirumAlirumchOlai ,
when he was an exile from ChOLa Naadu due to the cruelty of the fanatic
ChOLa king . He missed the Sriranga SrI. His AchAryan was away at Melkote.
He was approaching the ripe age of one hundred . Here at " Thenn KooDarkkOn
tennan koNDAdum tenn ThirumAlirumchOlai " , KurEsar reminds the Lord
about his ancestor's atthANi sEvakam to Him following the foot steps of
Malayadhwaja Paandyan , the ruling king of Tenn Mathurai, who gained
Moksham at this dhivya dEsam . Lord SundarabAhu is prathyaksham to
Malayadhwaja PaaNDyan even today at this dhivya dEsam . Here KurEsar
missed antharanga Kaimkaryam for his AchAryan (BhAshyakArar) , who
was away at Melkote  and prayed to Lord SundarabAhu to unite him
with his AchAryan . This union happened and AchArya RaamAnuja
took his dearest sishyan to Lord VaradarAjan's Sannidhi and commanded
his sishyan to pray for the restoration of his eyesight . The matchless boon giver,
Lord VaradarAjan responded positively . KurEsar did not want the eye sight
for seeing any one except his AchAryan and Lord VardarAjan , His aarAdhana
Moorthy . Lord VaradarAjan granted that special boon to his dear devotee.
