Comments: 

One day, when SrI Loka Saarnga Munivar went to ten (

ெதன்

 )

tiruk-kAveri to collect water for 

Lord RanganAtha's tirumanjanam, He came across a devotee of the Lord, who was totally lost  

in singing about the Lord and was oblivious of his surroundings. That bhaktan did not notice the 

temple ParicArakar facing difficulty in accessing the waters. The ParicArakar threw a little 

stone in the direction of TiruppANar, which ended up hitting his forehead and blood began to 

flow. TiruppANar woke up now and realized his apacAram and moved out of the way. The 

ParicArakar collected the water and returned to the Lord's sannidhi and found the doors 

closed on him. At night, Lord RanganAthan appeared in the dream of Loka Saarnga Muni and 

instructed him to make amends for the apacAram to His bhaktan and bring him (TiruppANar) 

on his (Loka Saarnga Muni's) shoulders to His sannidhi. PaaNar was apprehensive riding on the 

shoulders of the leading sannidhi priest and enter the holy SrIrangam temple. He was 

persuaded by the priest and on arrival at the Sannidhi on the shoulders of the priest, He 

opened his eyes and sang rapturously about the beauty of the limbs of the Lord from 

pAda 

kamalam

 to His crown and after that merged with the Lord right in front of everyone. 

TiruppANar became TiruppANAzhvAr through the composition of his divya Prabandham, 

amalanAdipirAn. 

Once upon a time, Brahma devan consecrated the mUrti of SrIman nArayaNan from the Milky 

Ocean and performed ArAdhanam for Him at His abode in Satya lokam. Many years after, the 

sUrya vamSa King, IshvAku was blessed by Brahma devan with His own ArAdhana mUrti and 

brought that mUrti to AyodhyA for His family's ArAdhanam. Lord Raamacandra along with 

SitA PirATTi worshipped this mUrti. After RaavaNa vadam and His coronation, Lord 

Raamacandra presented His family deity to VibhIshaNan, who began his southward journey 

with the Lord and His 

PraNavAkAra vimAnam 

to his home in LankA. When VibhIshaNa rested 

in an island made of Cauvery, BhagavAn liked the beauty of this island so much that He decided 

to stay there permanently. Even today, VibhIshaNan is said to come from Lanka and perform 

the midnight 

ArAdhanam 

for the Lord every day.

The asura guru, SukrAcchAr advised Bali not to go through that deed since He recognized the 

dwarf was none  other than Maha VishNu in that guise to retrieve the aiSvaryam lost by the 

devAs in their fight with the asurA king. Bali would not accept the recommendation of his 

AcAryan and began to pour water from his KamaNDalu to seal the gift. At that time,
