In Vibhavavatara, speaks sweet words.
269. OM MAHENDRAYA NAMA: ॐ महेन्द्राय नम:
Possesses Parameswara [Supreme Lord] qualities.
Today's [1st April 2009] is from Maduranthakam, also known as Dwayam vilainda Tirupati [த்வயம் விளைந்த திருப்பதி]. This is a historically important Kshetram.
Rajagopuram - view of the place and lake - Bhashyakara bathing ghat.
In this Kshetram Swami Periya Nambi performed Pancha samskaram for Swami Ramanuja. An unique feature of this temple is Sri Utsavar, Lord Sri Rama appears with bow and arrow, but not the receptacle for arrows [Tamil amburathuni அம்புராத்துணி] on His right shoulder; while Lakshmana has it! This minute detail has to be carefully observed.
Swami Ramanuja had his panchasamskaram beneath a magizha [மகிழ] tree, behind Sri Andal sannidhi.

Here Swami Ramanuja is with white robes, that is before he renunciated and became a sanyasi.
Sri Moolavar, Lord Sri Rama, has also an unique feature. Here the Lord is holding the hand of Sri Sita and is said to be when Sri Sita alighted from Pushpaka vimanam! The wealth, the Lord grants is everlasting. He is described as jangama parijata - mobile karpaka vruksham. Karpaka vruksham, grants anything to those who go to it. But the Lord grants anything to His devotees and He arrives at their place to grant! Because He is Mahendra, He was able to grant Vibheeshana, the Kingdom of Lanka, even before killing Ravana!
