Humble pranam to all devotees:    
Azhvar Thirunagari - Emberumanar Sannidhi Appeal
http://www.vedics.net/appeals/azhvartn/

Dear Devotees: Please accept our Humble Pranam.

Part 2

Thirukkurukoor is well known as azhwar thriunagari, is
present in the temple town of thirunelvEli. It is well
known as varAha kshEthram. It is believed that
mArkaNdEya maharshi performed penance here, and he in
the form of his ArchA, is present still inside the
AdinAtha perumAL garbhagriham. It is in this very
famous town swAmi nammAzhwAr spent his short span of
earthly life. swAmi was born to the king Kari maharaja
and udayar nankai. As guruparampara believes this
happened on the 42nd day of the beginning of kali
yuga.  kAri maharaja, didn?t had offspring?s for a
long time. It is believed that thirukkurunkudi nambi
himself took birth as swAmi nammAzhwar. According to
Shrimad Bhagavatam, The baby in the womb is considered
divine and omniscient. At the time of delivery, just
when the child comes in contact with the outside
would, a particular Vayu called ?SaTha? (be careful
about the spelling, it is hard ?Tha? , the second
alphabet in the ?Ta vargam? alphabets (Ta, Tha, Da,
Dha Na)) envelopes it and makes it forget its divine
quality. Nammalwar with a Humkaram drove it away,
thereby himself keeping and preserving omniscience and
other divine qualities. But Swami Nammazhwar won over
and got rid of the vayu.  Hence Swami Nammazhwar is
known as 'SaThagopan'.
