Adhikesava Perumal Temple, Thiruvattar – Literary Mention
Vaishanavite saint Nammalvar had sung the glory of Perumal of this temple in his Mangalasasanam. In his Paasurams, Nammalvar refers Thiruvattar as 'Valamikka Vattaru'. Mahavishnu is referred as Adhikesava Perumal and Thayar (Mahalakshmi) as Maragadavalli Naachiyaar. Nammalwar has praised the Lord with 11 Paasurams (3946-55)
Azhvaar Praise:
வாற்றாடான் அடி வணங்கி மா ஞாலப்பிரப்பு அறுப்பான்
கேட்டாயே மட நெஞ்சே கேசவன்  எம்பெருமானைப்
பாட்டாய் பல பாடி பலவினைகள் பற்று அறுத்து
நாட்டாரோடு இயல்வு ஒழிந்து
நாரணனை  நன்னினமே' - Tiruvoimozhi
Singing praise of Kesavan and worshipping him provides salvation from rebirth and takes one away from worldly attachments.
