Pasuram: Nayaganay Divyadesam: Thirukkurungkudi

In this pasuram, the key phrase is "thUyOmAy vandhOm thuyil ezhap pAduvAn vAyAl munna munnam mARRAdhE ammA". "pAduvAn" stands for nampAduvAn. Nampaduvan sang about the Lord of Thirukkurungkudi divyadesam with a Veena in his hand. As he went to see the Lord one time, a brahmarakshas got hold of him and wanted to eat him. At that time, he told the brahmarakshas "vAyAl munna munnam mARRAdhE ammA" and asked it not to prevent him from completing his vratam. After he makes several vows, the brahmarakshas believes that he will indeed return and lets him go. He then goes to Thirukkurngkudi divyadesam, worships Him through "nEsa nilaik kadhavam nIkku" and returns.

Thus the divyadesam of Thirukkurungkudi is experienced in this pasuram.
