Pasuram: Katru Karavai Divyadesam: Thirumogur

In this pasuram, the phrase "mugilvaNNan pEr pAda" is the key. In his Thiruvaymozhi pasuram "thALa thAmarai" for Thirumogur (10-1), Nammazhvar sings "kALamEgaththai anRi maRRonRu ilam gathiyE". The Lord of this divyadesam is known as "kALamEgam". It is elegant to experience this Lord through the name "mugilvaNNan".

No one can know where or when a cloud will rain. Similarly, no one can know on whom or when the cloud that is Krishna will shower His mercy ("nAsau puruShakArENa na chApyanyEna hEtunA, kEvalam svEchChayai vAham prEkShE kanjchit kadAchana". The cloud will exhibit lightning at one place and shower at another. Sri Krishna shone at Mathura and showered His grace at Ayppadi.
