Deeply enjoying the divine glory of nammAzhvAr, azhagiya manavAla perumal

nAyanar did mangalAsAsanam to alwar, starting with “mAthA pithA uvadhaya:” and

ending with pranamAmi moordhnA” followed by the recitation of kanninun

siruthAmbhu. While reciting the same and having the mesmerized darshan of the

alwar, nAyanAr got deeply involved in the lines “anaiiyAi aththanAi” and

regarded alwar to be his relation in all types (mother, father etc.)

 

Seeing nAyanAr, so deeply involved in alwar’s darshanam, like seetha piratti who

enjoyed perumal doing thiruvArAdhanam to periya perumal, azhagiya varadar got

deeply involved in the darshanam of nAyanAr. Like thirupAnAzhvar who got

himself dissolved in the beauty of ranganAtha and sang “en amudhinai kanda

kangal mattrondrinai kAnAvE” and vaduga nambi who regarded the darshanam of

emperumAnAr even more important than namperumal darshanam, azhagiya varadar

enjoyed nAyanAr’s darshanam.

 

Seeing the way nAyanar enjoyed azhvar’s darishanam and azhagiya varadar’s

Acharya bhakthi, the achargars in the sannadhi were highly pleased by the

extraordinary mix of acharya-shisya bhAvanai. They then, as representatives of

alwar himself, presented the acharya and shisya with alwar’s parivattam,

thirumAlai, theertham, sandhanam, prasAdam and on top of all these the

madurakavigal and all other honors. Receiving all the honors presented by the

archagars, nAyanar and azhagiya varadar came out of the sannadhi and did

pradakshinam to alwar with their mind still lingering in the divine beauty and

grace of nammAzhvar.

 

Nayanar was highly pleased and felt mentally peaceful for having been blessed

with such a great Acharya, who is a jnani filled with bhakthi and vairaghyam.

azagiya varadar then followed his acharya to the thirumAligai of thiruvAimozhi

pillai and prostrated under the divine feet of pillai. That day they stayed in

the thirumAligai enjoying the thiruvArAdham to perumal done by pillai, followed

by the dadiyArAdhanam and then the shower of divine arthas by pillai on

thirumanthram, bhagavat vishayam and many other divine subjects.

 

The next day, thiruvAimozhi pillai ordered azhagiya varadar to go along with his

father and brother to his birthplace vanamamalai and stay with great regards to

his parents by taking care of them with great sincerity and also involve himself

in the divine kainkaryam of vanamamalai emperuman. Listening to the sweet words

of the paramAcharyan but unable to get separated from his own acharyan, azhagiya

varadar remained silent. Understanding the inner thought of azhagiya varadar,

azhagiya manavAla perumAl nAyanAr requested his acharya thiruvAimozhi pillai to

allow azhagiya varadar to stay on for some more days and to let others continue

their journey back. Pillai accepted for the same and hence rangAchariyar and

his other sons returned back to vanamamalai leaving azhagiya varadar in Alwar

thirunagari.
