: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami Temple

Syānandūrapuravarṇana (स्यानन्दूरपुरवर्णन) or Syānandūrapuravarṇanaprabandha is the name of a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple.—Several works other than the Purāṇas speak about the glory of the Tiruvanantapuram temple and give light on the temple as well as on its glorification. [...] Several works of Svāti-Tirunā�, a ruler of Travancore, especially his Syānandūrapuravarṇana-prabandha, which describes the different activities of the temple, including its festivals, need a special mention. The Syānandūrapuravarṇana-prabandha, written in the prabandha (prose and verse) style, deserves special mention since the work is composed similarly to a ٳⲹ on the Tiruvanantapuram temple.

The Syānandūrapuravarṇana-prabandha is divided into ten stabakas (chapters). The first chapter, Bālakrīḍa, begins by extolling the glory of Lord Padmanābha and then moves on to the story of Divākaramuni as told in the Anantaśayanakṣetraٳⲹ. The second chapter, Pratyakṣadarśana, gives an account of the sage moving towards the Ananta forest searching for the boy, and the third chapter, Keśādipādastuti, depicts the sage’s veneration of Padmanābha. The fourth chapter, Kṣetravarṇana, is named Kṣetraٳⲹ and the glory of Lord Padmanābha is enumerated in detail. The tīrthas are described in the fifth chapter, namely Tīrthaٳⲹ. In the sixth chapter, Utsavapraśaṃsā, there is a detailed account of the annual festival with all its aspects. The seventh chapter, Mṛgayāvarṇana, gives the sequence of the royal hunt held on the ninth day of the annual festival. Chapter eight and nine of the Syānadūrapuravarṇana are devoted to a detailed account of the procession held on the tenth day. The subject matter of the tenth chapter of the Syānadūrapuravarṇana is an account of the Lakṣadīpam festival of the temple that is celebrated once in six years.
