Dear All,
Please note these are originally posted by Shri Murali Battar who is Archakar @ Srirangam Temple & with the help of Shri Raja Desikan its been translated into English too. I am just sharing the information to the users part of this group.Kindly revert for clarifications.
Have you seen Periyaperumal at Srirangam ? As per our anscestors, Periya perumal’s entire Thirumeni(Divine Bodily Form)is made out of
1000s of Saligrama. Infact this also explains the sanctity of periya perumal as well. Brahma was worshipping this same Periyaperumal made of saligramas isn it?
Think.. how much is the depth of Divine Prideness and Sacredness PeriyPerumal have?
There is a Prakaram (Temple Round) around the Sanctum Sanctorum of Periya Perumal which is named as ThiruVenAzhi Prakaram
Thiru – Azhaghiya /Thrimal ;
Ven-White
Azhi- Kadal (Sea)
This implies that the Prakaram is nothing but Parkadal (Shirrapdhi) and Periyaperumal is none other than ShirapdhiNadan. This
Ven-White
Azhi- Kadal (Sea)
This implies that the Prakaram is nothing but Parkadal (Shirrapdhi) and Periyaperumal is none other than ShirapdhiNadan. This
can even more be felt during the 10 days of Rappathu where PeriyaPerumal will adorn the Muthangi (Completely Pearl Studded Covered Dress) and will bless as ShirapdhiNadhan only.
As per sayings, this Prakaram is surrounded by thousands of Saligrama.

Hence, Udayavar (Sri Ramanujar) didnt laid his foot on this Prakaram and walked with his Knees is also noted.
If we just have one darshan, it is equivalent to many puniyam. Renganatha’s pride and fame is something unmeasurable.
SriRanga Mahatmiyam describes that PeriyaPerumal ascended to Srirangam along with the Thanga Vimanam. Perumal self appeared. Then it is evident to derive that the Saligramas which forms part of his Tirumeni should also have been formed self.
For many years, I myself was having a doubt..that the Periyaperumal should have the “PachaiMaa MalaiPol Meni” as descirbed by the Azhwars..Only Arangan knows this Divine Secret..!
