SrI :
 
Dear Sri Ranganatha BhakthAs :
 
At SrI Rangam Periya Koil , when NamperumAL enjoys Thirumanjanam (Sacred bath) ,
the descendants of Swamy ParAsara Bhattar ( Sri RangEsa PurOhithar) recite in a majestic
way the 27 slOkams of THIRUMANJANA KATTIYAM OF THEIR ANCESTOR EVEN TODAY .
 
 These 27 slokams of Swamy Parasara Bhattar have deep meanings on VisishtAdhvaitha
darsanam and have slEdai ( double meanings ) and reveal the genius of Bhattar as a poet
and AchAryan with direct links to AchArya RaaAnujA . Bhattar has witten a profound
commentary to these 27 slOkams , which are treasured by the descendants of his vamsam
at Srirangam .
 
Sri Parasara Bhattar was raised as a child by the Srirangam dhivya dampathis and they
themselves rocked the child in a cradle next to their garbha graham . The dhivya dampathi's
ParipoorNa anugraham was therefore abundantly present for ParAsarar to let him bloom
in to a MahA Medhai , MahA Kavi and brillinat Acharyan conversant with all SaasthrAs 
and Sruthis . The Taniyan for Him is :
 
SrI ParAsara BhattArya: Sri RangEsa PurOhitha:
SrIvathsAnga sutha: SrimANn srEyasE mEasthu bhUyasE
 
(Meaning) : May Sri ParAsara Bhattar , the son of KurEsar with parama Sri VaishNava Sri
and serving as the PurOhithar for Lord RanganAtha bless me with all auspiciousness !
 
At Srirangam , Lord RanganAtha enjoys Thirumanjanam on the Maasa PiRapu days ,
every EkAdasi , AmAvAsai , the days on which Revathi nakshathram is in ascendance ,
Solar and Lunar eclipse days and the last days of Uthsavams .
 
As Sri RanganAthan's PurOhithar , Swamy ParAsarar sttod in front of his Lord
on the above days for reciting Vedams and the Thirumanjana Kattiyams as
the Lord enjoyed His sacred bath . The KOil SthAnIkar will invite Swamy ParAsara
Bhattar and give the Lord's command to recite Thirumanjana Kattiyam during
those occasions with a formal declaration : " AruLappADu ParAsara Bhattar "
Our Bhattar will step forward and say "NaayinthE " and then recite these slOkams .
 
adiyEn will take up these Thirumanjana Kattiyam slOkams in the subsequent
postings . These are the SlOkams that we are going to initate at SrI RanganAtha Temple
at Pomona , NY shortly .
 
A similar Thirumanjana Kattiyam on adiyEn's Kula dhaivam , Sri Oppiliappan
is available to you all at the Oppiliappan Home pages . AdiyEn was inspired by
Swamy Parasara Bhattar's dhivya sookti to compose the Oppiliappan Thirumanjana
Kattiyam :
