Jeeyer nAyanar told vanamamalai swamy the last instructions of periya Jeeyer as

follows:

 

“Swamy has instructed to give the upathandam in his trithandam, the thiruvAzhi

ring in his hand and thiruvadi nilai (divya pAdhukai) of thiruvAimozhi pillai to

you to be kept with you always. Swamy has also told to inform you to do a grand

thiruvadhyayanam (final rituals) and then attained paramapada prApthi”

 

With these words Jeeyer Nayanar submitted the upathandam, thiruvAzhi ring and

thiruvadi nilai to vanamamalai Jeeyer. Jeeyer accepted them with due regards

and then stayed there for few more days along with annan and others. Then

wanting to go back to vanamamalai, Jeeyer went to periya perumal sannadhi to

request for permission to leave. While standing in front of perumal, Jeeyer

swamy got deeply involved in the divine kalyana gunas of emperuman and was

cherishing the same as per the arulicheyals of alwars when periya perumal got

deeply impressed by jeeyer’s bhakthi and along with the appropriate honors

uttered the following:

“Oh! Jeeyer all my sorrow due to missing periya jeeyer has been washed out on

seeing you, his shisya. You from now on stay in the place of periya Jeeyer and

spread and establish the rAmAnuja darshanam and prevent the world from going in

the wrong path”

 

Thereby after getting the honors and blessings of periya perumal, jeeyer

proceeded to vanamamalai. In vanamamalai, Jeeyer did lot of renovations at the

temple viz., the vimanam, gopuram, prAkAram etc.

 

After the temple kainkaryams, swamy then started his sanchAram (going from one

place to another) and as per his acharya’s words all through the way won over

many kudrishtis (who preached the wrong philosophies to people) and remained

with great fame. He delivered the manthra-manthrArtha rahasyas to all those

jeevatmas who surrendered to his feet to get uplifted. Many people surrendered

to swamy and paved their way for moksha. In this way swamy stayed in

vanamamalai for few more days and then wanting to do mangalAsAsanam to “pAyum

neer aranganthannul pAmpanai pallikonda mAyan” (ranganatha who was lying on

adhisesha amidst the kaveri river) once again he stood in front of vanamamalai

deivanAyaga perumal to take leave. After getting the permission of perumal he

proceeded with his jnana puthran, rAmanuja pillAi to srirangam.
