Nayanar then proceeded towards the thirumAligai of koil annan and relaxed in a

seat with the jeeyer standing in front of him with folded arms. It was bhagavat

sankalpam to unite nAyanar and vanamamalai Jeeyer swamy to spread and make our

darshanam (rAmAnuja siddhAntham) flourish, in order to lift the jeevatmas who

were lost in the samsAric ocean of miseries without realizing their own

svaroopam. After submitting this responsibility to the acharya and shisya

periya perumal relaxed without any tension in his adhisesha paryankam (bed of

adhisesha. Vanamamalai Jeeyer, who had deeply involved himself in the service

of his acharya and mangalasasanam to namperumal, one fine day wished to go to

thirumalai to do mangalAsAsanam to thiruvEnkatamudaiyan and appealed the same to

nAyanAr.

 

Like thirumazhisai Alwar who followed kanikannan, his shisya (“kanikannan

pOgindrAn kamarupoonkachchi manivanna nee kidakka vEndA- thunivudaiya sennAp

pulavanum pOgirEn- neeyum nin painnAgappAi surittikol”) nAyanAr also decided to

go along with ponnadikkAl Jeeyer. Both of them then went to namperumal

sannadhi, did mangalAsAsanam and after getting the permission from namperumAl to

go to thirumalai and other vadu nAttu thirupadhigal, started on their journey.

 

They started their divya dEsa yAthrai (journey) with Thiruvellarai (“muppOdhum

vAnavarEththum munivargal vellarai”) and had darshan of pangaiya selvi sametha

senthAmarai kannan. Then they proceeded to srimushnam to have the divine

darshan of swethavarAhar. From there they went to thirukkOvaloor and did

mangalAsAsanam to edaikazhi Ayan (“ThirukkOvaloor adhanul kandEn nAnE”) and

proceeded on to thirukkadigai, had darshan of thakkAn and climbed the hill to do

mangalAsAsanam to the “kadigai thadang kundrin mEl erundha akkArakkani”).

Finally they reached thirumalai (“paran sendru sEr thiruvEnkata mAmalai”).

 

ThiruvEnkata mudaiyan didn’t want them to have darshan like all the other

devotees. He wanted to show the greatness of the acharya and shisya, who were

none other than thiruanandAzhvan, emperuman’s bed and his

aparAvathAram(incarnation), to the world and hence he showed the same in the

dream of periya kElvi Jeeyer. Periya kElvi Jeeyer saw in his dream, himself

standing to the south of Alwar theertham facing north. In front of him lay a

Srivaishnava, with a huge body covering from the top of thirumalai to the

bottom, like periya perumal with his thirumudi in the west and thiruvadi in the

east and facing south. Under his feet was standing a Jeeyer. Periya kElvi

Jeeyer was amazed to have this darshan and he enquired to the people around who

the Srivaishnava and the Jeeyer were? The people around replied …………..
