Podhu Thaniyan for Prabandhams

1. Sriman Nathamunigal sees a group of men hailing from Thirunagari reciting verses from ‘Aravamudhe’ at the Veeranarayana Puram temple
2. He is moved by the rendition
3. ⁠Enquires about the origin of the Pasurams, and is guided to look for answers at Thiru-Kurugoor
4. ⁠Nathamunigal reaches Thiru-Kurugur sees the Gopuram on the banks of the Thamrabharani river and worships the Lord and Nammazhwar at the temple
5. ⁠Receives Kannunin Siru-thambu as Deeksha from Parankusa Dasar, a disciple of Madhurakavi Azhwar
6. ⁠Chants the 11 verses of Kanninun Siru-thambu 12,000 times as suggested by Parankusa Dasar in front of a Tamarind tree
7. ⁠Nammazhwar, along with Madhurakavi Azhwar, appears and blesses Nathamunigal not only with Thiruvaimozhi which ‘Aravamudhe’ is a part of, but also the rest of the Divya Prabandham
8. ⁠Nathamunigal dances in ecstasy at a temple, wearing kulla and ankle-bells to the rhythm of the cymbals. This pioneers musical presentation of the Divya Prabandham which comes to be known as ‘Araiyar Sevai’.
