Sri kaliyan has excellently discovered the greatness of the four type of earths-geographical divisions, as set out by ancient tamilians. Generally, each place has its own peculiar features. However, thiruvahIndirapuram has got the best of these. This aspect is elaborated by Sri Sadagopan swAmi. nAnilam in Tamil poetry :(1)Neythal (2) Kurinji (3)Mullai and(4)Marutham . Kaliyan finds a blessed combination of the best features of all these four kinds of lands at ThiuvahIndhrapuram . He recognizes therefore This Dhivya Desam as Naa-nilam (nAnku nilam) or having the integrated essence of the features of the above four kinds of lands . Kaliyan's specific references to these four kinds of lands have been pointed out by SrI UtthamUr Swamigal in his commnetary : (1)Kurunji Naadu: " ampozhilUdE serunthi nANmalar senraNainthu uzhi taru ThiruvayeendhrapuramE" -- First Paasura Passage Here is thereference to Serunthi Pushpam , which is typical of Kurunji Naadu; Kaliyan sees the joyous honey bees (Nithyasooris) travelling in dense patterns amidst the groves of Serunthi trees , while singing the thousand names of the Lord . This band of bees had feasted earlier on the honey from lotuses in the pond , where MahAlakshmi stays and are now engaged in BhagavannAma sankIrthanam .The bees embrace the new blossoms of Serunthi and travel hither and thither in their groves. (2)Mullai Naadu: " MoykoLL Maadhavi SeNpakam muyankiya Mullaiyam kodiyAda " --Third Paasuram Passage The LakshaNam of Mullai Naadu is woven in this paasuram. Kaliyan sees the Mullai creeper embracing dense thickets of Maadhavi, SeNpakam and Kurukkatthi trees , which themselves are flowering trees.
