sRi: Srimathe Ramanujaya namha Adiyen wish to add few points to Smt Sumithra's Mail, it was an excellent anecdote to show the connection between SriPaRasara Bhattar and SriRangam. When he got in to the situation to clarify about the Peria Thirumozhi pAsuram , where our Thirumangai Alwar brings in Thiruvengadamudayan in the SriRangam pAsuram, we can see the great "Meda Vilasam " of Our Bhattar, he replied , look at the pAsuram, its the ThayAr Pasuram. Here as Sumitra mentioned , the whole pathigam was the Thayar pAsuram , so it sonly the thAyar of Tirumgai Alwar who said Thiruvengadam in Thiruvarangam pAsuram and not our beloved Alwar !!! you can see the attachment of our Bhattar with SriRangam and his Meda Vilasam in his reply.. This is only an eg, and if you see all the conversations between our Nanjeeyar and Bhattar, it was so great , like Nanjeeyar will ask normal doubts as neechan like Adiyen can think about and our Bhattar will give fitting reply which will clear all doubts and with a stich of humour also..

Parasara Bhattar's attachment to Srirangam is legendary. This has led to some interesting indicents. adiyEn will recall one interaction of Sri Bhattar with Sri Anandazhvar. Anandazhvar too had great attachment to a divya- desam, but it was Thiruvengadam. At one time, a bhAgavata who had been with Anandazhvar for a while in Thirumalai went to Srirangam. While attending Bhattar's upanyasam there, he happened to sneeze and said "thiruvengadam" immediately. In those days, Srivaishnavas would say the name of some divyadesam after sneezing. Upon hearing this Bhattar remarked "karuvilE thiruvilAdhAr Ar?", recalling Thondaradippodi Azhvar's Thirumalai pasuram 11: oruvillAl Ongu munnIradaiththu ulagankaL uyya seruvilE arakkar kOnais seRRa namsEvaganAr maruviya periya kOyil mathiL thiruvarangamennA karuvilE thiruvilAdhIr! kAlaththaik kazhikkinRIrE Here Azhvar says that only those who do not have the grace of the Lord when they were in their mother's womb would fail to say thiruvarangam at least once. But, for Bhattar this applies not just once but at every opportunity. Needless to say, he was disappointed at not hearing the bhAgavata say thiruvarangam after sneezing. When Anandazhvar heard this, he sent a message to Bhattar stating "veruvAdhAL vAy veruvi vEngadamE enRALO, thiruvarangam enRALO?", refering to Thirumangai Azhvar's Periya Thirumozhi (5.5) on Srirangam, which starts as "veruvAthAL vAyveruvi vEngadamE vEngadamE enginRALAl". Here, the mother of the girl laments about the state of her daughter who is tortured by her separation from the Lord. She says that her daughter who is separated from Him cries out vEngadamE vEngadamE, even though the pasuram is dedicated to Srirangam. How interesting are anubhavams of our acharyas!
