Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple, Pathanamthitta – Literary Mention

Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple, Pathanamthitta – Literary Mention
The temple is glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandha, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one of the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, who is worshipped as Parthasarathy (Partha's charioteer). Nam Azhwar had sung 11 Paasurams about the Lord of this Temple.
Nam Azhvaar Praise:
Nam Azhvaar refers to both the place Thiru Varinvilai and the Lord Thiru Kuralappan in his Thiruvaimozhi verses. Nam Azhvaar in his praise of this Divya Desam says that the place where Lord Thiru Kural Appan resides is Thiru Vaaran Vilai.
ஆகுங் கொல் ஐயமொன்றின்றி
அகல் இடம் முற்றவும் ஈர் அடியே
ஆகும் பரிசு நிமிர்ந்த திருக்குறள் அப்பன்
அமர்ந்து உறையும்
மாகம் திகழ் கொடி மாடங்கள் நீடு
மதில் திருவாறன்விளை
Nam Azhvaar in his Thiruvaimozhi verse refers to the Lord of Varinvilai as Govinda, Madhusudhana and Hari and to this place as surrounded by gardens, with nonstop recital of Vedas.

கூடுங்கொல் வைகலும் கோவிந்தனை   மதுசூதனைக்  கோளரியை

ஆடும் பறவை மிசைக்கண்டு கைதொழுதன்றி  அவன் உறையும்
பாடும் பெரும் புகழ் நான்மறை வேள்வி ஐந்து ஆறங்கம் பன்னினர்வாழ்
நீடு பொழில் திருவாறன் விளைதொழ
வாய்க்குங்கொல்  நிச்சலுமே
