Periya Jeeyer and his pAdharEka VanamAmalai Jeeyer reached Thirunagari, bathed

in the sangani thurai, did the appropriate anushtAnams and then proceeded to do

mangalAsAsanams to emperumAnAr starting with “SrimAdhavAngri”. Then doing

mangalAsAsanams to various sannadhi’s in order they went to the alwar sannadhi.

Starting with “mAthA pithA” and ending with “pranamAmi moordhnA”, they did

mangalAsAsanam to alwar and then proceeded to the mutt and stayed there for a

few days.

 

Then with a deep wish to do mangalAsAsanam to vanamamalai perumal both of them

proceeded towards vanamamalai, bathed in the settruthAmarai (temple tank),

finished appropriate anushtanams, then went to deivanAyakan sannadhi and did

mangalAsAsanam reciting, “nOttra nOnbillEn” and “kadhA punas sanga…..”

(Aalavandaar’s strotra ratnam) and then prostrated under the divine feet of

vAnamAmalai perumal, deivanAyagan. They had the divine darshan of the beautiful

lotus-like sweet eyes which pierces into one’s mind, the coral-like lips, strong

shoulders, divine feet with a beautiful noopuram, the divine crown and all other

divya Abharanams (Jewels) and the divine beauty throughout from top to bottom.

Their mouth then uttered alwar’s enchanting paasuram, “Ar enakku nin pAdhamE

sharanAga than thozhindhAi, vunakkOr kaimmAru nAn ondrilEn enadhAviyum vunadhE,

serukol karumbum perunsennellum malindhan sreevara mangai, nAru poonthandhuzhAi

mudiyAi deivanAyaganE”. Periya Jeeyer uttered these lines and his eyes filled

with tears and loosing himself he stood in front of perumal.

 

Perumal pleased with the deep involvement of periya Jeeyer told him with

happiness, “You have given me one beloved person just like you for my

kainkaryam. I have attained the benefit for bringing him up” and then blessed

him with thirumAlai, thiruparivattam, srisadagopan, prasadam and other honors

and also showered his fullest grace on him. Then Periya Jeeyer took the

permission of perumal, came out along with his shisya and proceeded to the mutt.

 

Periya Jeeyer consecrated the aranganagarappan gifted to vanamamalai Jeeyer by

Periya perumal in the mutt with his own hands and ordered vanamamalai Jeeyer to

do thiruvArAdhanam daily and blessed him to remain with glory, with number of

shisyas and thereby work for the flourishment of sath sampradayam (ramanuja

darshanam). After staying in vanamamalai for a few more days they went to

thirukkurungudi did mangalAsAsanam to nambi and then returned back to

vanamamalai. There they stayed for 3 more days in the service of deivanAyakan

and then once again started to alwar thirunagari and enjoyed the divine service

of alwar for six months considering days to run like seconds.

 

Then Periya Jeeyer told vanamamalai Jeeyer, “You follow my orders and stay in

vanamamalai and do all types of kainkaryam to deivanAyaka perumal and live

happily”. Shocked to hear this, but not being able to refute his acharyas words

but very very sad to think of separating from his acharya, vanamamalai Jeeyer

was soaked in sorrow. When …………
