In his Periya Thirumadal and Siriya Thirumadal, the Azhwar sings as the Parakala Nayaki. This bridal mysticism is an expression of the overflowing, boundless love for the divine. The Azhwars speak in their own words and voice when in full command of their self and speak as the Nayaki when their love overflows. “Gnana dasayil tan pecchu premadasayil pen pecchu” (“ »ЎЙ ѕўЁєВўш ѕэ §АоН ф§ГБѕўЁєВўш ¦Ас §АоН”) says the commentary. Theoverflowing Bhagavad Anubhavam needs to be channelised like the overflowing water of a reservoir in the rainy season which is released through numerous sluice gates. In such situations we find the saints speaking in many voices as the Nayaki, the Nayaki’s mother voicing concern over her daughter’s state and as the Nayaki’s friend. In both the Madals, the Azhwar sings about numerous Divya deshas but dedicates the works to the Lord of Thirunaraiyur in the last verse.

Oora dozhiyen ulagariya onnudaleer!

Seerar mulaithadangal seralavum- parellam

Anrongi ninralandan ninra thirunaraiyur

Manronga oorvan madal. ( Siriya Thirumadal)

Thirumangai Azhwar went to Thirunaraiyur and sang his delectable verses bewitched by Nambi’s Soundaryam. Thirunaraiyur Nambi was also the Azhwar’s Acharyan and therefore commanded a special position in the Azhwar’s heart. Later when Kaliyan returned to Srirangam the Peria Perumal with evident disappointment confronted him saying “Azhwar! You offered your special verses as Nayaki to Nambi! ” The Azhwar tried to pacify Sri Ranganatha saying “But I built the huge rampart walls (Madil) of your temple to make it fit to be called the Peria Kovil. This is a special kainkaryam offered to you alone! ” Unconvinced by this explanation given to placate him, Lord Ranganatha is said to have retorted saying “I would have been happier if you had offered your Madal to me and built the Madil for Nambi. ” This charming anecdote reveals the magic of Kaliyan’s words that kept the Lord spell bound. It also reminds us that what protects the Lord and ‘SriVaishnavaSri’ is the benedictory words of the saints not the massive walls of bricks, stones and mortar built around them.

This Azhwar’s devotion to the Archa form is incomparable. The idol form was vibrantly alive to him and responded to his faith and entreaties. He was truly the pioneer of the modern trend of Pilgrimage tourism. One must keep in mind that the Azhwar reached out covering distant Kshetras like Salagramam, Badri, Naimisaaranyam, Ahobilam in days when most modern comforts were unknown and transport was primitive. Among the 108 Divya deshas, 86 have been visited and sung by him unlike the Mangalasasanam of Nammazhwar who never stirred from his abode under the Tamarind tree at Thirukkurugoor. All Nammazhwar’s verses on Kshetras were sung with his Divya Drushti. But Thirumangai Azhwar took great pains and traveled to remote places with great zeal. In his first Prabandham the Periya Thirumozhi he dedicated decads to each Divyadesha but in later works started singing many temples together. Periyavachan Pillai’s illuminating commentary throws light on why the Azhwar did this. “The Azhwar is getting older nearing his departure to Sri Vaikunta. His immense love for Archa makes him recall all the earlier anubhava. This can be compared to a young girl leaving her home after marriage. She goes around visiting all the dear ones recalling her joyous days with them and taking leave with a heavy heart. ” This is a sample from his Siriya Thirumadal

“Seerar Thiruvengadame thirrukkovaloore madil kacchi ooragame peragame peramarudirruttan vellaraye vekkave perali thankal naraiyoor tiruppuliyoor aaramam soozhnda arangam kanamangai karar mani nirakkannanoor vinnagaram seerar kanapuram serai thiruvazhundoor

karar kudandai kadigai kadanmallai erar pozhil soozh idavendai neermalai seeraarum maaliruncholai thirumogur paror pughazhum vadari vada madurai ooraaya ellam ozhiyame nanavanai. ”
