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.
