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..


Best Regards
Gunaseelan V

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!
