Not once but twice that too on the behest of his consort.
Sri Bhaktavatsala Perumal. Thiruninrur.
This is not a Mangalasasana sthala, for it is said that Thirumangai alwar once visited this place, but at that time it is said that the Lord is said to have not noticed him, and so the Alwar did not sing any hymn in his praise,that being the reason this beautiful temple does not fall into the Mangala sasana stalam or divya desam.
It is said that the Goddess realised the slip that the God had not noticed Thirumangai alwar. The Goddess here known as Ynnai Petra Thayar tells Bhaktavatsala Perumal that it would reflect badly on the Lord if one of his sincere devotees leaves the place in anger, without even singing his praise. The Lord is said to have conceded the logic in this and is said to have gone in search of Thirumangai alwar, who by then had reached Mamallapuram. The Lord of Thirunanravur appeared before (The minds eye) Thirumangai alwar who was at that time seeing the idol of the Lord at Mamalapuram, he exclaims that he was seeing the Lord of Thirunanravoor in the idol of the Lord at Mamalapuram.
The Lord then returns and reports to his consort that he succeeded in giving darshan to Thirumangai alwar and that he sang one pasuram in his praise. The Goddess was not satisfied and is said to have told the Lord that Thirumangai alwar is a prolific composer it is not possible that he sings only one pasuram in his praise and thus she requests the Lord to go back and get Thirumangai alwar to sing atleast one more pasuram for him. Poor Lord how could he avoid the request of his consort. He goes once again in search of Thirumangai alwar who by then had reached Thirukannapuram. Here again Thirumangai alwar sees(in his minds eye ) the Lord of Thiruninravoor and sings his praise saying here again in the Lord of Thirukanrapuram he is seeing the Lord of Thiruninravur.
Is this not magical yes different scholars read different meanings into these two pasurams of Thirumangai alwar. The above may also be an imagination! What ever one thing is clear for a Lords devotee there is no bound he can see the Lord everywhere in every thing.
