Hymns in praise of Trivikrama at Thirukovalur.

In praise of the presiding deity at Thirukovalur Poigai , Bhoodat , Thirumangai Aazhwars and Sri Desikan have dedicated several verses and hymns..Some of them are as follows...

Vengadamum vinnagarum vekhavum akhadu poongkhidangil neel koval ponnagarum --nanghidathum ninraan, irundhan, kidandhan, nadandhane yenral kedumam idar....................2158

[Poigai Aazhwar's Mudal Thiruvandhadi.] Meaning:-

All problems and sorrows will vanish when He is duly worshipped in 4 sacred places---Tirumalai, Vinnagaram[vaikuntha nathar at kanchipuram],Thiruvekha [temple at kanchipueram]and in the place that abounds in ponds and lakes that are covered with flowers -- Kovalur!
In all his postures --Standing [like at Tirumala] seated [like at Vaikunthanathar temple], reclining [ like at SriRangam, Trivandram--]and Walking [ As Trivikrama as in Kovalur]

The following is Desikan's sweet verse from his 'Dehilastuthi '--a complilation of 28 hymns in praise of Trivikrama at Thirukovalur ,who is also known as Dehila.

Kasaara poorva mukhya vimartha janma panna thadeksu soopaksya raso bhahutse|
Tvat padha padma tvatnaya bhogaye noonam smasrawthi noothana sarkarethavum|.............7.

O my Swamy at Thirukovalur ! You are as sweet as the sugar cane that grows at the bank of river Penna , that flows by your temple!
The 3 ancient poets [Mudal aazhwars] have sung your praises , which is as sweet as the juice wrung from sugar cane!
Those who worship only you and none other are sure to taste this unique sugar along with the honey drawn from lotus flowers , that wash your feet!
