Ramanuja

Dear bhakthaas,

There are indeed 8 kinds of Sayana sEvais at 27 dhivya dEsams. Bhujanga
Sayanam is the most abundant (20 Dhivya dEsams). The following were
the divya desams where emperumAn reclines (kidhantha thirukOlam) in
8 types called as ashtAvidha sayana divya desams.

1) Bhujanga Sayanam ———- SrI Rangam
2) Bhoga Sayanam ————- Thiru Chitrakoodam (Chidambaram)
3) Darbha Sayanam ———— ThirupullAni
4) Sthala Sayanam ———— Thiru Kadal Mallai (Mahabalipuram)
5) Maanikka Sayanam ——— Thiruneermalai (near Pallavaram, Chennai)
6) UththAna Sayanam ——— Thiru Kudanthai (Kumbakonam)
7) Vadapathra Sayanam ——- SrI Villiputtur
Veera Sayanam ————– Thiru IndhaLUr (near TherazhundhUr)

Sri Nilamanga Nayaki sametha Sri Sthalasayana Perumal , Thirukadal Mallai

* One among 108 Divya Desam

* Thiru mangai alwar(20), Boothath alwar(1) mangalAsAsanam

* Sri Boothath alwar thiruvavathAra sthalam

* One among ashtAvidha sayana divyadesangal. ( Sthala sayanam –> ThirukadalMallai)

* The nearby sea is called “artha sEthu“, since the sea water was touched by HIS(Sriman Narayanan) hands.

* Prathyaksham to Pundareega Maharishi (Hence Pushkarini –> Pundareega Pushkarini)

* Since perumal rests on floor (Sthalam), thayar also sits on floor (without on Padma Peetam) in separate sannidhi as Nilamangai Thayar

* Perumal on sthala sayanam with four hands. Two hands points towards HIS lotus feet (which reminds prapatti), one hand using as resting place for HIS head (since there is no AdhisEshan) and another hand calling HIS bhaktha. This is a typical rare reclining posture that everyone should have darshan atleast once in his lifetime.

* Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan Sannidhi - varaprasAdhi

* Separate Sannidhi for Sri BoothathAlwar. (his avathara mandapam is just opp. to temple entrance)

* Also separate sannidhi for Sri Sita sametha Ramar Lakshmanar, Sri Anjaneyar, Sri Andal, and other alwars.
