Preface

There are eleven divya kshetrams in tirunAngUr (in the vicinity of sIrkAzhi) where PerumAL has taken His abode, providing easy access to His devotees. These eleven divya dEsam-s located in the town of tirunAngUr, are collectively called the ‘tirunAngUr divya dEsam-s’. The tirunAngUr divya dEsam shrines are tirumaNimADakkoyil, tiruvaikuntha viNNagaram, tiru arimEya viNNagaram, tiruttEvan Artogai, tiruva NpuruDOttamam, tiruccemponseikoyil, tirutteRRiambalam, tirumaNikkUDam, tiruveLLakkuLam, tirukkAvalampADi and tirupparthanpaLLi.

Next, aDiyEn will attempt to throw some light on tirumaNikkUDam - tirunAngUr divya deSam, using the following commentaries on tirumangai AzhvAr’s periya tirumozhi 4.5:

tirumaNikkUDam - Introduction

 

A. SrImad tirukkuDandai ANDavan and SrI PVP:

sarveSvaran, who manages the whole Universe, provides for everyone's desires and directly vanquishes the foes of those who surrender to Him, has come to live permanently in the tiruppati called 'tirumaNikkUDam'. AzhvAr is very happy with the thought that emperumAn has come to stay in tirumaNikkUDam just for AzhvAr's sake.
