Naimicāraṇyam refers to one of the 108 Vaishnava Divya Desam (徱ⲹś or divyasthalas), located in the topographical division of Vaṭanāṭu (“North India�), according to the 9th century Nālāyirativviyappirapantam (shortly Nālāyiram).—Tradition would record the Vaiṣṇava 徱ⲹś or divyasthalas are 108. The 徱ⲹś is a base of the cult of Viṣṇu in Viṣṇuism [Vaiṣṇavism] tradition. The list of 108 [viz., Naimicāraṇyam] seems to have reached maturation by about the early 9th century CE as all the ś are extolled in the hymns of the twelve Āḻvārs.

Kavya (poetry)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Naimicaranyam in Kavya glossary
: Google Books: The Transformation of Tamil Literature in Nineteenth-Century South India

Naimicāraṇyam refers to the Sanskrit Naimiṣāraṇya as mentioned in the Amparpܰṇa.—[...]It appears that many of the cittirakkavi [viz., ‘pictorial poems’] compositions now known were composed during the nineteenth century. In the biographies of the poets, such verses are usually embedded into anecdotes that emphasize the poet’s mastery of language. Mīṉāṭcicuntaram Pillai’s magnum opus Amparpܰṇa (1869) has one entire chapter containing more than thirty stanzas which rehearse the various possibilities of cittirakkavi. The following four examples from this chapter shall suffice to show Mīṉāṭcicuntaram’s mastery over this form of DZṇi. All the stanzas of this chapter describe the beautiful nature of the Naimica forest (Skt. Բṣārṇy), a sacred place where ascetics and sages perform their penance and which forms the conventional backdrop for the story of the ܰṇa.
