Pasuram: Vangakkadal Divyadesam: Srivilliputtur

Previously in the pasuram "mAlE maNivaNNa", the Lord of Srivilliputtur, Vatapatrasayee, was experienced. In this pasuram, the desam of Srivilliputtur itself is experienced through "aNi pudhuvai".

The divyadesam of Srivilliputtur was sung only by Periyazhvar (Periyazhvar Thirumozhi 2-2-6) and Andal (Nachchiyar Thirumozhi 5-5).

Periyazhvar speaks of Andal in his pasuram while Andal speaks of Periyazhvar in Her pasuram.

Periyazhvar sang "minnanaiya nuNNidaiyAr virikuzhal mEl nuzhaindha vaNdu, innisaikkum villipuththUr". In this pasuram, the Lord who is a bee ("thUviyam puLLudaith dheyva vaNdu") entering Andal's hair is brought forth.

In Andal's pasuram ("mennadai annam parandhu viLaiyAdum villipuththUr"), Periyazhvar's story of speaking the Vedanta meanings in the sabha of the King can be seen. The avatara of the Lord as Hamsa (annam) is for saving the Vedas ("annamAy anRangku arumaRai payandhAn" - Periya Thirumozhi 5-3-8). The avatara of Vishnuchiththa (Periyazhvar) is for bringing forth the meanings of all the Vedas ("prAha vEdAn ashEShAn").

Thus, the experience of Srivilliputtur is only through the greatness of Andal and Periyazhvar. And Srivilliputtur is experienced in this pasuram.
