This Divya Desam is special for Thirumangai AzhwAr. [extract from Sri Sampath Rengiâs write up on this sthalam] This kshethram is in the select list of 12 mukthi tharum srinivaasan sthalam as "sri"nivaasam. Thiru mangai praises this temple as MaNi maadak kOil in his paasuram. When looked at the sannithi from the entrance, the karuvaRai looks like a maadak kOil and also like a small kunRu or hill. Aazhwaar says in periya thirumadal as "then na naRaiyoor maNi maadak koIL maNaaLan". This temple has 16 gOpurams in various sizes. The vimaaNam on top of the moolavar is also in the shape of a gOpuram and is unique only to this kshEthram except for thiruvaLLikENi. kOchchengaN cholan was known as one of 63 naayanmaars and is named as chOla naayanaar. He lost his kingdom and was living in hiding. The saints living in maNi muththaa river asked him to pray this lord nambi. While he took bath in maNi muththaa river, he got the divine sowrd as he was submerged in the water. He then went on to collect a rebellion force and fought a war and regained his kingdom. He became a sri vaishnavaa then and constructed a golden vimaanam for this temple and allotted lands for this temple so that nitya aaraadhanai can be performed. Thirumangai mentions this in his paasuram as sembiyan kOchchengaNaan sErntha kOil thirunaRaiyoor maNi maadam sErminkaLE theyva vaaL vaLannkoNda chozhan sErntha thiru naRaiyoor maNimaadam sErmingaLE Moolavar : Thiru NaRaiyoor nambi, Srinivaasan, vyuuka vaasudEvan, sugantha vana naathan thayaar : vanjuLa vaLLi, nambikkai naachchiyaar, in thirumaNak kOlam Ursavar : Same name as moolavar vimaanam : Srinivasa vimaanam, hEma vimaanam virutchcham : vilva , vakuLa or makizha tree theerththam : maNImuththaa : chOla got his divine sword sankarshana : Brahmaa's dhosham was cleared Prathyumnaa : Baanuthaththa's curse was cured aniruththan : iNidiraa's saabam was cured saamba theerththam: saptha rishis did penance in this. prathyaksham : Brahmaa, and saint mEthaavi Sri VanjuLa vaLLI thaayaar samEthara Srinivaasan thiruvadikaLE saraNam AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam Regards Namo narayana dAsan ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
