Paasuram 30: The birth places of five AzhwArs *********************************************** YeNNa aru sIrp Poyghai munnOr ivvulahil thOnRiyavoor vaNmai mihi Kacchi mallai Maamayilai--MaNNIyin neer thEngum KurayalUr sIrk Kaliyan thOnRiyavoor Onguum URayUr Paananoor (meaning); If we wish to know which are the birth places of Mudal AzhwArs of limitless auspicous attributes , then they are the beautiful Kaanchi (Poygai), Thirukkadanmallai (BhUtham )and Thirumayilai (pEy AzhwAr). Kaliyan was born at ThirukkuRayalUr , where the waters of river MaNNi come to rest and ThiruppANAzhwAr incarnated at the lofty UrayUr. Paasuram 31: Birth places of Two More AzhwArs *********************************************** ThoNdaradippodiyAr thOnRiavoor--thol pukazh sEr MaNdankudi yenpar maNNulahil--yeNdisayum yEtthum KulasEkaranUrena uraippar Vaaiyttha Thiruvanikkalam (Meaning): The great ones point out that ThoNdaradippodi was born in MaNdangudi of eternal fame. KulasEkarar with a reputation saluted in all the eight directions was born in ThiruvanjikkuLam , which is fit for BhakthAs of the AzhwAr to assemble for eulogizing him . Paasuram 32: The Birth places of three more AzhwArs ***************************************************** Mannu Thirumazhisai Maadat ThirukkuruhUr minnu pukazh VilliputthUr medhiniyil--nanneRiyOr yEntha PatthisArar yezhil MaaRan BhattarpirAn Vaaynthu uthitthavoorkaL vahai (meaning): In this earth, the village of Thirumazhisai of eternal auspiciousness, the dhivya dEsam of Thirunahari with tall ramparts and the dhivya dEsam of SrivillipputthUr of enduring fame are the places where the righteous assemble and celebrate them as the birth places of Thirumazhisai , NammAzhwAr and BhattarpirAN respectively . These are the three sthalams , where the three AzhwArs incarnated for protecting the people of this earth . Paasuram 33: AndAL and Madhura Kaviand Udayavar's birth places *************************************************************** seerArum VillipputthUr selvat ThirukkOLUr yErAr PerumbhUthUr yennum ivai--paaril mathi aarum ANdAL Madhurakavi AzhwAr YethirAsar thOnRiyavooringu (Meaning): ANdAL blessing one with Jn~Anam , Madhurakavi and RaamAnujar appeared on this earth at SrivilliputthUr , ThirukkOLUr renowned for its VaishNava Sri and PerumbhUthUr respectively . (Comments): In the past four paasurams , MM recorded the Months-Nakshathrams and the avathAra sthalams of those , who blessed us with the dhivya prabhandhams . One notices a striking omission in this list . Thiruvarangatthu AmudanAr , the author of RaamAnuja NooRRanthAdhi is missing in MM's list although that Dhivya Prabhnadham is traditionally included in the sacred collect of Four Thousand . It appears that in the time of MM , there was a controversy about including RaamAnuja NooranthAdhi in the count of Four Thousand.Responding to this dilemma , MM's disciple, AppiLLai came up with a count of 4000 without the inclusion of AmudhanAr's prabhandham . MM however ruled that the centum devoted to his dear AchArya RaamAnujA should be part of the 4000 count and followed the adhyayana niyamam for this prabhandham in line with the practise for the other Prabhandhams .
