Pasuram: Thoomani | Divyadesam: Thirukkadigai |

The divyadesam of Thirukkadigai is also known as Gadikachalam and Cholasimhapuram. In his pasuram about this divyadesam, Thirumangaiyazhvar sings "mikkAnai maRaiyAy virindha viLakkai" (Periya Thirumozhi 8-9-4), describing the Lord as a lamp.
Acharyas use the terms "kudaththil itta viLakku" and "kunRil itta viLakku". The former is a lamp kept inside a pot - which will not spread its light around; the latter is a lamp placed on top of a hill - that will spread its light everywhere.
In this pasuram, Andal says "thUmaNi mAdaththu suRRum viLakkeriya" describing a lamp placed at a high place spreading its light around. Therefore, it is appropriate to experience the Lord at Thirukkadigai, who is literally the lamp placed on top of the kadigai mountain, through this pasuram.
