After coming out of the emperumAnAr sanndhi, azhagiya manavAla perumAl nAyanar

along with azhigiya varadar and his other shisyas prostrated Thirukachchi

nambigal ( " DevarAja dayA pathram Sri kAnchi poorna muththamamI RAmAnuja munEr

mAnyam vandhEham sanjanAsrayamII). They then proceeded towards the entrance of

the temple, paying their due respects to periya thiruvadi, entered the gopura

vAsal, had the darshan of " Ayar thalaivan " and " Sudarshana Alwar " . As they

proceeded inside, they had darshan of the golden dwajasthambham. Inside they

passed through thiruvEngadamudaiyan sannadhi, chakravarthi thirumagan sannadhi

and navaneedha Krishnan sannadhi.

 

Finally they entered the sannadhi of ‘Polindhu nindra pirAn’( " thirithanthAgilum

dEva pirAnnudai kariya kOla thiruvuru kAnban nAn " ) reciting the verses from

thiruvAimozhi which are the mangalAsAsanam done by nammAzhvar to this perumal

starting with " onnum dEvum…. " Then they did mangalAsAsanam to jnana

piran( " mangalAni prayunjAnA mandham mandham viniryuyu: " ) and then to kuruga

dEvi, the holy mother filled with ‘kshama’(forgiveness) and krupai(mercy). She

is the same piratti who showed her mercy even to the rakshasis who did cruelty

to her in ashOkavanam saying, " na kaschit nAparAthyathi " (Apjath kurukAdEveem

kurukAnAdha vallabhAm I PoornAkassu ksama jushtAm svapriyAya priyamvadhAm " ).

 

From there they prostrated the dasAvatArAs and then proceeded towards the

AdhinAyaki sannadhi and then towards thirupuliAzhvAr. Then after having the

divine darshan of our sampradayam’s important acharya, Sri nathamunigal, who got

back the divya prabandhams from nammAzhvar by reciting the kanninun siruthambhu

12000 times, they then proceeded towards the golden dwajastambham of Azhvar.

 

Like a rising sun, amidst four beautiful golden pillars, on a golden simhAsanam

studded with precious stones which are very pleasant to the viewer’s eyes, they

had the darshan of one who has been praised by poigai muni and others and whom,

Sri madurakavigal surrendered as his soul master and delivered the divine

kanninun siruthambhu. They were also amongst a great crowd of

ubhyavEdanthAcharyas, pandits, sastra vithpannAs and those who have shed all

their bad qualities (selfishness, anger, greed etc) and those who have a great

regard for azhvar and who are mumukshus(interested in moksha). Azhvar, prapana

jana kootasthan, sarvaprapyam to all over there, in turn was showering his

divine grace with his eyes filled with krupai, like a lotus which has just

bloomed, but with a gambeeryam like a lion, himself being like a princess in the

kingdom of emperumAn, Srivaikundam, wearing a sweet smelling garland ( " nAt

kamazh magizh mAlai mArbinan " ).
