SrI:

Dear  BhakthAs:

Today  we will study the second of the Paasurams
of Thirumangai Mannan on Lord DhaivanAyakan of
ThiruvahIndhrapuram ( Periya Thirumozhi: 3.1.2):

minnum aazhi amkaiyavan SeyyavaL uRai-taru ThirumArbhan
pannu-naan maRap-pall poruL aahiya Paran idam varai saaral
pinnu maadhavip-panthalil pedai varap-piNi avizh kamalatthu
tennavenRu vaNDu innisai mural taru ThiruvayIdhrapuramE 

" Minnum aazhi amkaiyavan " = He is the One with most radiant
chakram (Sudarsanam) in His hand .

SeyyavaL uRai taru mArbhan = He is the One with MahA Lakshmi
on His chest without separation (nithya vAsam on His
Vakshasthalam as SrInivAsan).

Naal maRai pal poruL Paran idam = This TiruvahIndhrapuram is 
the Home of the Lord , who is the SarvAntharyAmi of all chethanams
and achethanams as revealed by VedAs and their Upanishads .

Varai Saaral pinnu Maadhavi pandalil pedai vara  = In the foot 
hills of Oushada Giri of ThiruvahIndhrapuram , the male honey bee
with his consort wish to unite in the interlocking canopy made
up of Maadhavi trees near the lotus ponds.

piNi avizh kamalatthu tenna yennu vaNDu innisai mural taru
ThiruvayeendhrapuramE =  Inside the blossoming red Lotus flowers ,
the Honey bee couples wait to move on to their ultimate
resting place for the night ( Interlocking Maadhavi Pandal
nearby) and spend their time singing (ReemkAram) the sthOthrams
about the Lord of ThiruvahIndhrapuram . If the honey bees wait
without moving on , the lotus flowers will close their petals
for the night and the bees will be locked up for the night.
That place , where one hears Hari Naama sankIrthanam at
the lotus ponds and Maadhavi Panthal is indeed 
ThiruvahIndhrapuram.

Additional PramANams and references:

1. Minnum Aazhi amkaiyavan: 
  " Sphurath SahasrAra sikhAthi theevram Sudarsanam
   BhAskara KOdi Tulyam ". That glittering Sudarsanam
   (minnum Aazhi) with thousands of spurts /rays is
   adorning the beautiful hand of the Lord ( amkaiyavan).

   Minnum Aazhi: Sphuda TaDith jaala pinjara ( SrI Sudarsana
   Ashtakam): The Sudarsanam  is resembling in its radiant
   golden color like the shining assembly of lightning bolts.

2. SeyyavaL uRai ThirmArbhan: (SrInivAsan): Lord's lakshanam
   (defining mark ) is the residence of MahA Lakshmi on His
   Chest ( ahalahillEn yenRu AlarmEl Mangai uRai Thiru Maarbhan).
   Seyyaval is MahA Lakshmi , the HiraNya VarNai ( HirnyavarNAm
   HariNIm ) , who engages in the act of PurushakAram (Seyya
   vallavaL , Vaallabhyam ). 

3. Naal maRai pal poRul Paran :  SarvAntharyAmithvam of the Lord 
   as revealed by the four VedAs and their Upanishads--PramANams:
   AntharyAmi Brahmam sections of BruhadhAraNyaka Upanishad,
   3.7.8--3.7.27 celebrates ParamAthman/Paran as the immanent ,
   indweller of all chEthanams and  achEthnams .That  antharyAmi 
   Brahman is different  from the JivAthman. As the AntharyAmi ,
   the Supreme Lord is the inner controller of all sentients
   and insentients.This antharyAmi Brahman concept is fundamental
   to the Body-Soul relationship ( SarIra-SarIri Bhaava) developed
   by AchArya RaamAnuja as the central plank of VisishtAdhvaitham.
   This Upanishadic antaryAmi Brahman can not be fully  seen  by
   the sense organs due to His infinite nature. This antharyAmi 
   Brahman is seen and is seeable in all its splendor as Archai
   at  Thiruvaheendhrapuram as Dhaiva Naayakan for our benefit.

   Other Upanishadic PramANams about AntharyAmi Brahman 
   are found in SvEthasvatharam(I.9) KathOpanishat (I.3.1), 
   Brahma  Soothram (I.2.11:anupravEsam in created beings )
   and ChAndhOgyam (VI.3.3).
