Namaste!
 
While I do not have full clarity on your questions, I would like to reply to my limited intellect for your 1st and 2nd questions:
 
1.  It is said Mahalakshmi was born on this day out of Samudra Mathanam.  Does it mean that there was no Mahalakshmi earlier to this event?
 
-->  Mahalaxmi is nitya (eternal) unlike Chaturmukha Brahma to the blade of grass who gets into unmanifested state during Pralaya.  She is eternally existent along with Hari.   Hence this question does not apply to her gunas (viz., nityatva)
 
2.  Was Sriman Narayana a bachelor till then?
 
--> At no point of time Narayana or Lakshmi are separated.  They are both together always. In all his incarnations she will be there with him. She is called as 'Vishnu Hruthkamala Vasini'  (residing in the heart of Hari).   Please refer Purusha Suktha (Hreescha the lakshmischa patnou, "ahoratre parshve") and Sri Suktha for a better handle on their relationship who are eternally related to each other.  Hence this question does not arise.  Rest It is all Hari leela to dismay asuras and throw them into ignorance.
 
As regards 4th question - pls consider sacred words of Acharyas (Sri Ramanuja, Sri Vedantha Desika etc.,) as truth and not any other stories.  We need to get to the root of the story as to who wrote it and the background and then refer whether Acharya quoted on it.  For us Acharya's words are pramana and not others.
 
Thanks
sukumar

Subject: [SriRangaSri] Panguni Uttiram

Swamin,
 
I have a few questions on Panguni Uttiram.  I shall be grateful if I can be enlightened.
 
1.  It is said Mahalakshmi was born on this day out of Samudra Mathanam.  Does it mean that there was no Mahalakshmi earlier to this event?
 
2.  Was Sriman Narayana a bachelor till then?
 
3.  Are there other signifances to Panguni Uttiram?
 
4.  In Srirangam, there is Mattai Adi on this day.  The story goes as Ranganatha's visit to Uraiyur Nachiar was resented by Peria Piratti?  The whole story appears more human othan divine.  Is the story real and a mere figment of imagination by weak mortals?
 
Shall be highly obliged if I can be enlightened.
