SVS 310 [Satya Dharma Parakrama: - 290] (31.7)

290. OM SATYADHARMAPARAKRAMAYA NAMA: सत्यधर्मं पराक्रमाय नम:
He protects the Universe, without causing any blemish to His auspicious qualities or to His valour.

Poigai Alwar was born in Thiruvekkha. Thirumazhisai Alwar lived here. Acharyas like Swami Desika and Swami Manavala Mamunigal lived here. When Thirumazhisai Alwar's disciple was exiled from this place, Alwar also went away; he ordered the Lord also to follow them! King got frightened and requested Alwar to return along with the disciple. He agreed and ordered the Lord also to return! Therefore, the Lord is sonna vannam seyyum Perumal. Though the Lord is the mightiest, He is also compassionate to His devotees. There is a place Orirukkai [ஓரிருக்கை] near Kanchi, where Alwar with disciple and the Lord of Thiruvekkha, stayed for one night, before returning to their place! In Srimad Ramayana, while fighting Indrajit, Lakshmana, sent a missile after proclaiming that if Sri Rama were righteous and had real valour, that missile should kill Indrajit. And Indrajit was killed! He is therefore, satyadharma parakrama! We can see the pond in which Poigai Alwar was born. It is our duty to maintain it clean.
