108 Divya Desam
9th
Thiruadanoor
The Moolavar here is Aandalakkumaiyan and Thayar is Ranganayaki.The temple is located near Swamimalai.Since Kamadenu came ahead of Lakshmi from Parkkadal,she felt she should be honoured first ahead of Lakshmi.Perumal gave her a marakkal and asked her to fill it with Ishwarya.Kamadenu could not fill the marakkal.Lakshmi prayed to the perumal and dropped a tulasi into the marakkal and it overflowed.Kamadenu worshipped the Perumal and surrendered herself.Hence it is called Aa(cow) + Than(thapas) + Oor(place).Thirumangai Azhawar had a dream where he went to kollidam at Srirangam and found a merchant with a marakkal and turban.The merchant helped the Azhwar with funds for the construction of the programs of Srirangam and used the marakkal for measuring the money and Ezuthani and Olai to write down the accounts.Azhwar followed the merchant and found him enter the temple.The Perumal gave Dharshan with a marakkal as pillow and holding the ezhuthani and Olai in his hand.Perumal was annoyed by the nityasuris in  Paramapadam.He then left the Paramapadam without Lakshmi and others and came here to rest.He was sleeping on Earth.Lakshmi then sent Aadisesha to look for perumal.When Aadisesha found perumal sleeping on Earth instead of him as the couch.He pleaded with Perumal to give the privilege.Perumal wanted to confirm that it is Adisesha himself and not any other serpant.He then performed Samasrayanam to Adisesha.Idol of Thirumangai azhawar is seen in the garbha graha.Agni is also seen in Moolassthanam.Perumal is seen with Brahma and lotus along with Sridevi,Bhoodevi and Kamadenu.Brighu maharisi worshipped perumal and Thayar here.Thayar got pleased with him and gave him a Garland.Brighu gave this to Indra.Lord Indra gave it to his elephant Iravadam.It threw the Garland down and stamped it.Angered,the Rishi cursed Lord  Indra.Indra approached Lakshmi .She offered to help him here.Indra came and prayed here.Brighu Maharishi was praying for a child here.One day he found a girl on the tank.The girl was named Bharghavi ( Daughter of Brighu Muni) and later perumal married her.On this day she washed away the sins of Lord Indra.

This temple was built by Aditya Chola.There are two pillars in the Grabha Graha of the temple called Mana Thoon.If one hugged these ,one is liberated.
