\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

purusha mangalam also known as pachchai vAraNa perumAL kOyil, pachchai vAraNa puram, haritha vAraNapuram, varadharAjapuram, etc and is presently known as pEttai is situated right in-between pUvirunthavalli<\/a>\u00a0(avathAra sthalam of\u00a0thirukkachi nambi<\/a>) and\u00a0thirumazhisai<\/a>\u00a0(avathAra sthalam of\u00a0thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a>). This is the avathAra sthalam of\u00a0mudhaliyANdAn<\/a>\u00a0who is\u00a0emperumAnAr<\/a>\u2018s dear sishya.<\/p>\n

emperumAn<\/a> descended here as haritha vAraNa (pachchai vAraNa \u2013 green elephant) perumAL to bless yudhishtra who apparently misled dhrONAchArya by saying \u201casvaththAma is dead\u201d (asvaththAma is the name of dhrONAchArya\u2019s son as well as an elephant). thAyAr in this dhivya dhEsam is known as\u00a0amirthavalli thAyAr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with kUrathAzhwAn<\/a>,\u00a0mudhaliyANdAn<\/a> approaches\u00a0SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> and both of them become his first sishyas and learn everything from him. Subsequently, they both go to SrIrangam with SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>\u00a0and assist him in the propagation of this glorious sath sampradhAyam which becomes to be known as \u201cemperumAnAr dharisanam\u201d. Since the times of dhAsarathi (mudhaliyANdAn<\/a>) this dhivya kshEthram is famously known for it being his avathAra sthalam (birth place).<\/p>\n
