After having heard the Divya Prabandam recited by Thirumangai alwar the Lord felt he had been reciting for a long time and his throat may be aching so he orders the temple priest to smear what is left of the oil used for his divine bath on to the throat of Thirumangai alwar. also once when it was not possible for perumal to enjoy his annual ceremonial bath he ordered the retenue to bathe Tirumangai alwar instead. The story of the Lamp lighter requesting Perumal who was keenly listening to Nampillai religious discourse, to get back into the Garbha griha where he belonged is too well known. also how Divya prabandha got an equal status to the vedas is the reason Tirumangai alwar is the hero of Adyanutsavam to this day.
