Dear Members: a spot check indicated that this posting was not recd by
a few members.. Seems that some thing is wrong with Compuserve,
which selectively distributes or sends things into cyberspace.. Could those ,
who dd not receive this
posting, let me know that they did not. I tried two times. I assume that
this goes thru. I am wondering about the THiruppaanaazhvar related 
psting as well as the Comments /Translation of
Bhagavd Dhyana Sobhanam. Wonder , whether that went astray too.

Before I complain to Compuserve, I thought I would ask you.
Thanks for your feedback,
Sadagopan

RE:     Copy of: Kumadavalli Naachiyaar &Thirumangai Alvar

Legend has it that An Apsaras girl came to bathe with her friends in a Lotus
pond
near the Divya Desam of Thiru Aaali Naadu. She tarried to collect the Kumuda
blossoms 
and was left behind by her companions.She stayed behind with a human form at
the 
bank of the pond slightly dazed.. At that time, a physican from the Divya Desam
of Thirunangoor arrived at the very same pond to perform his morning rituals and
learnt about the happenings that led 
to her isolation. The physician was chidless and he adopted the young Apsaras
girl by the name
of Thirumaamagal and renamed her Kumudavalli inview of the role that Kumuda
blossoms played
in the matter of his being blessed with a beautiful daughter. She grew up and
reached the stage 
of marriage. Thirumangai Mannan was a petty chieftain in the chola kingdom and
had his
head quarters near Thirunangoor. He heard about the most beautiful Kumudavalli
and 
approached the physician and requested his daughter"s hand in marriage. 

The young Kumudavalli advised her father that she will not marry anyone, who
did not have the 
Pancha Samskarams or Vishnu chinnas.. Thirumangai hastened to Thirunarayoor and
had the privelege of Samasrayanam from the Lord of the temple himself and wore
the Twelve Pundarams
and returned to Kumudavalli as a Sri Vaishnava.
