SrimathE NArAyaNAya namaha
Further to Sri Venkatesh Elayavalli's information, adiyEn would like
to add one more important feature of this sannidhi. It is said that
EmberumAnAr had 3 most distinguished thirumEnis, (1) thAnAna
thirumEni (2) thAnugandha thirumEni and (3) thamarugandha thirumEni.
I don't know much details about the 3rd one which is present at
Thirunarayana puram. Probably, Sri Rajesh Mandayam, who is hailing
from that place can throw some light.
The first one, ThAnAna thirumEni, it is the original thirumEni of
swAmi EmberumAnAr. One can even see the true nails in His fingers in
the sannidhi. This is one of the most distinguished importance of the
sannidhi at Srirangam. Additionally adiyEn heard that bhakthAs who go
to this sannidhi at Srirangam will wash their feet after coming out.
Can someone confirm this(?)
The second one is the ThAnugandha thirumEni, which is at
Sriperumbudur, the avathaara sthalam of our swAmi. It is said that,
when the sishyAs of our swAmi made this idol, our swAmi was so
overwhelmed by its beauty and made the pratishTai of this Idol at
Sriperumbudur by Himself.
