Water, which is having swaying waves, are pervading the surroundings. In this manner, the town is abundantly beautiful. emperumAn is the lord of nithyasUris and is joyfully residing in such dhivyadhESam. He incarnated as mahA varAham, who is having beautiful form which is decorated with ornaments such as anklets etc which look like mEru mountain which is having unique, reddish precious gemstones. He dug out the shining SrI bhUmip pirAtti from the wall of the oval shaped universe and placed her in between his tusks and mercifully climbed up. Because of this, he is the sarvESvaran who controls all of us. Behold that same bhagavAn, who is mercifully present in thiruvazhundhUr.
