On reaching kancheepuram, swamy had darshan of all the sannadhis in order as per

the following sloka :

 

“SrimathdvAravaram mahathhi palipeetAkrayam panEndrahrudham gopeenAmramanam

varAhavabhusham Sri bhattanAtham thathA I

Srimantham satavarinam kaliripum Sri bhakthisAram munim poornam lakshmana

yOginam munivarA nAthyanatha dvAdhasam II

Sriman majjanamanthapam sarasijam hedeesa bhOgeeshvarou rAmam neelamanim

mahAnasavaram dhArshyam nrusimham prabhum I

SEnAnyam karipoodharam thathu pari sri punya kotim thatha thanmathyE varadham

ramA sahasaram vandhE thatheeyair vrutham I kamala nivEsi thAngri kamalam

kamalAramanam kanamani bhooshana tyudhi kadharitha kAthrusim I

Abhaya katha sudarshana saroruhacArukaram karisi karisEkaram kimapi chEdasi mE

nidhathE”

 

The above sloka excellently shows the order of sannadhis located in the temple,

most of which is seen even today in varadaraja perumal koil, kanchi (bali

peetam, lord venugopala, lord gnyAna piran, sri bhattarpiran, sri saTakOpa, sri

kali kandri-thirumangai Azhvar, thirumazhisai piran, periya nambi, emperumAnAr,

mudhal azhvars, mudali’s guarding the entrance, abhisheka mantapam, perundEvi

thAyAr, thiruvAzhiAzhvan, thiruananthAhzhvan, chakravarthi thirumagan, kariya

mAnikka varadar, thirumadap palli, periya thiruvadi, azhagiya singar, senai

mudaliyar after darshan of all of them infront of us appears the thiru-aththi

malai on which stays the lord varadaraja along with his consorts Sridevi and

bhoodevi under the divine punyakoti vimAnam and along with all his divya ayudhas

in his hands.)

 

In this way swamy had the darshan of all the sannadhis and came infront of

devarajan and did mangalasasanam to perumal as follows,”mangalam vEdhasE vEdhi

mEthi nEgruha mEthinE I VaradhAya dayA dhAmnE thirOdhAya mangalam”.

 

DevAdhirajan highly pleased called swamy with arulappAdu and bestowed his

theertham, thirumAlai, thiruparivattam, srisadagopan and other prasadams to

swamy. Accepting the same with due regards swamy proceeded to the mutt and

staying there continued his mangalasasanam to devaperumal for three more days.

Then swamy started his journey towards thirumalai to do mangalasasanam to

thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn. But on the way, some chaturthAcharyas from erumbi came to

know about swamy’s visit and hence came to swamy and after paying their due

respects requested swamy to visit erumbi.

 

Swamy accepted their invitation and gave them the bhakyam of doing various

kainkaryams to swamy. They finally requested swamy to grace them with the

divine rahasya arthas and bhagavat vishayam. Swamy accepted and delivered the

divine arthas in front of suddha satvam anna and others who requested for the

same along with pOllipAkkam nayanAr and others (the chaturthAcharyas) and koil

annan and others who have accompanied swamy from srirangam. Swamy thereby

completed the rahasya artha kAlashepam followed by the bhagavat vishaya

kalashepam by which time a year has passed since swamy came to erumbi.

 

Then swamy went along with all of them to thirukkadigai (‘neel sOlai

vanpoonkatigai) to have the darshan of thakkAn and the akkArakkani emperuman on

top of the hill (‘katigai thadankundrinmEl nindra akkArakani’). There, swamy

stayed for three days and did mangalasasanam to the emperuman. Then swamy

proceeded towards thirumalai.
