Thirupparameswara Vinnaharam - (சொல்லு வன்)
திருப்பரமேச்சுரவிண்ணகரம்
In Periya Kanchipuram, there is the Vaikunta Perumal temple. The āzhvār refers to this temple as Paramechura Vinnagaram. The Pallava king undertook several renovations and improvements to this temple. Therefore, the āzhvār also praises this king along with the temple.
பெரிய காஞ்சீபுரத்தில் வைகுந்தப் பெருமாள் சன்னதி இருக்கிறது. ஆழ்வார் அதைப் பரமேச்சுவர விண்ணகரம் என்று கூறுகிறார். பல்லவ மன்னன் இக்கோயிலில் பல திருப்பணிகளைச் செய்திருக்கிறான். எனவே, இம்மன்னனையும் சேர்த்துப் புகழ்கிறார் ஆழ்வார்.
