Thiruvayindirapuram - (இருந் தண்)
திருவயிந்திரபுரம்
Like Thirukkovalur, Thiruvahindrapuram is also a Divya Desam in Nadu Nadu. Here, Deivanayaka Perumal resides. The temple also has shrines for Sri Hayagriva and Sri Desika. This is the place where Sri Hayagriva appeared to Sri Vedanta Desika. It is a town that grants peace and wisdom, named after Adisesha. Ahindrapuram became Ayindrapuram and is also referred to as Ayindai.
திருக்கோவலூரைப் போல் திருவயிந்திரபுரமும் நடுநாட்டுத் திருப்பதியாகும். இங்கு தெய்வநாயகப் பெருமாள் எழுந்தருளியிருக்கிறார். ஸ்ரீ ஹயக்ரீவன் சன்னதியும், ஸ்ரீதேசிகன் சன்னதியும் இங்கு இருக்கின்றன. ஸ்ரீ வேதாந்ததேசிகருக்கு ஸ்ரீ ஹயக்ரீவன் பிரத்தியட்சமான இடமும் இதுவே. அமைதியும் ஞானமும் கொடுக்கும் ஊர் இது; ஆதிசேஷனின் பெயரால் ஏற்பட்ட ஊர். அஹீந்திரபுரம் என்பது அயிந்திரபுரம் என்றாயிற்று. அயிந்தை என்றும் கூறுவதுண்டு.
