Description of ThirumaNN Kaappu<br />

On the beautiful forehead of the Lord DevanAthan, Swamy Desikan finds the<br />

radiant Urdhva PuNDram and his salutation of the auspicious Thiru MaNN<br />

Kaappu takes this form:<br />

MEANING:<br />

Oh DhaivanAyakA! Oh NeelamEka ShyAmaLA! On Your beautiful blue forehead,<br />

one has the darsana soubhAgyam of the lustrous Thiru Mann kAppu, which is<br />

like the radiant lightning that jumps out of the dark blue rain clouds. That<br />

lightning would last for a small amount of time and will disappear. The lightning<br />

of brilliant Thiru MaNN kAppu on Your forehead however lasts forever and<br />

removes the dark clouds of Ajn~Anam in the minds of those, who worship You.<br />

One wonders whether that Thiru MaNN kAppu has been adorned by You to<br />

serve as an auspicious lamp to remove the darkness of ajn~Anam in the minds<br />

of Your devotees.<br />
