Periya Jeeyer first gave the sanghu, chakra lAnchanam (thApa samskAram) to annan

and looked into his eyes for a long time with eyes filled with grace and then

pointing towards vanamAmalai Jeeyer told to annan, “He is very close to me.

Whatever fortune I receive should also go to him. Like me getting a relation

with the mudaliyAndAn clan, he should also receive the same”. Understanding the

implications in Periya Jeeyer’s words annan replied, “Can’t you make me a shisya

of VanamAmalai Jeeyer too?” Jeeyer was happy to hear this and said, “ That’s my

wish too. You learn the rahasya arthas from my beloved vanamamalai Jeeyer”.

Annan was very happy and considered it to be his bhAkyam (good fortune).

 

Then remembering the dream and dEvaperumAl’s wish annan with the same in mind

looked at appAchiyAr anna. Understanding the entailment in annan’s look,

appAchiyAr anna came forward and prostrated Periya Jeeyer. Swamy asked him,

“What?” for which appAchiyAr anna told swamy about the dream and requested swamy

to submit him to the divine feet of “engalAndavan vanamAmalai Jeeyer swamy”.

Highly pleased to hear this periya jeeyer exclaimed, “nam appAchiyAr andrO!” and

granted him the permission to become a shisya of vanamamalai jeeyer.

 

Then, mAmunigal made vanamamalai jeeyer to be seated in his place and appAchiyAr

anna near him and also gave the thirukkaiAlwars (thiruvAzhi, thirusanghu

elachchinai) in the hands of vanamamalai Jeeyer and told vanamamalai jeeyer to

do sanghu chakra lAnchanam to appAchiyAr anna. Feeling a little shy to do the

same in front of his acharya, vanamamalai Jeeyer hesitated. But then mAmunigal

told him, “Don’t hesitate; this is my wish so carry on without any hesitation”

and showered his grace on anna and embraced him with love. Then as per

appAchiyArs words his brother dAsarathi appai also surrendered under the feet of

vanamamalai jeeyer and undertook samAsrayanam.

 

Due to the sankalpam of Periya perumAl (“Sri sakasya niyOkEna sisriyE dEsiga

sriya:), Periya Jeeyer, seated in the topmost unparalleled acharya position,

blessed his shisya, very close to him and under the divine krupai of Sriyapathi

Sri Vanamamalai peruma,l with his symbols and power to do samAsrayanam to the

Srivaishnavas belonging to vAdhoola kulam. Seeing this, annan and others were

wonder struck. And meanwhile few others who heard of this (how achAryasrEshta

Periya Jeeyer showered his grace on vanamamalai jeeyer and made him do pancha

samskAram to the vadhoolas) talked among themselves about the same and showed

their due respects to swamy.

 

At that time, Koil annan swamy submitted suddha sattvam anna to the divine feet

of vanamamalai Jeeyer. Thereby becoming a shisya of vanamamalai jeeyer, suddha

sattvam anna was deeply involved in the divine qualities of his acharya, filled

with kalyana gunas, and with a thirumEni filled with soundaryam (beauty) and

sowkumAryam (fragile nature) and was highly pleased to become the shisya of such

an acharya with Jnanam and anushtAnam.

 

Then while vanamamalai Jeeyer was delivering kalashepam to suddha sattvam anna,

- kOil annan, appAchiyAr anna and dAsarathi appai came and requested to give

them also the divine rahasya traya arthas as per Periya Jeeyer’s words.

Following the orders of his acharyan, vanamamalai Jeeyer, who was always

interested only in the upliftment of the jeevAtmas (“AtmalAbhAth param kinchith

anyAn nAsthi”) did the same and thought them the rahasyams and other vishEsha

arthas.
