Thiru
Boothathazhwar was born in Mamallapuram/Mahabalipuram in the Tamil month
Aippasi with the birth star Avittam on the Shukla Paksha Navami day. He
was found in the garden of Jasmine flowers. Thiru Boothathazhwar had
perpetual love and dedication to Lord Vishnu, he has composed 100 enthralling
verses praising the glories of Lord Vishnu in his composition Irandam
Thiruvandhadhi. It is believed that Boothathazhwar was the incarnation of
Kaumodhaki/Mace, one of the Panchayudham of Lord Vishnu.
Boothathazhwar
visited many sacred shrines of Lord Vishnu and sung praising the glories of
Lord. He arrived at Thirukkovilur on a heavy down pouring night where
Poigai Azhwar was already took shelter in the hermitage of Sage Mrigandu where
there was tiny space to stretch out for a person. Shortly, there arrived
Boothathazhwar requesting for a shelter. Sage Mrigandu guided him to the
tiny room where Poigai Azhwar was already settled, with an instruction that the
place adequate for one to stretch out and two could sit. Within no time,
there arrived Pey Azhwar with the same request to protect himself from the
torrential rain. Sage Mrigandu gracefully led him to the tiny space where
Poigai Azhwar and Boothathazhwar were already in with an instruction that the
small place was capable for one could stretch out, two could sit and three
could stand.
The three
zealous devotees of Lord Vishnu spend the night standing together on the tiny
space and discussing the eternal glories of Lord. Soon, they felt a
sudden congestion and the presence of fourth one shoved into their space
followed with lightning and thunder. Instantaneously they realized the
presence of Lord Sriman Narayana and sung praising the glories of Lord.
Later, the three Azhwars were visited the Thirukkovilur Divya Kshetram and sung
the splendor of Lord at their heart’s content.
