Standing in between the divine pillars, swamy had the darshan of Lord

ranganatha, (“Sri RangarAja math raksheeth ramyajAmAtharam prabhum”). Swamy

enjoyed the divine beauty of periya perumal from bottom to top

(pAdhAdhikEsAntham) with the recitation of the amalanAdhipiran paasurams. Swamy

then sung pallAndu to perumal, “paduththa pAmpanai pallikondAnukku pallAndu”.

Further swamy proceeded to do mangalAsAsanam to namperumal who stood with

abhayahastham (a mudra assuring us that he will protect us and stopping us from

leaving him), and with all the divyAyudhAs held in his hand, kavitha mudi

(showing the supremacy, paratvam of bhagavan), mugamum muruvalum (the face and

the smile in it showing his soulabhyam so that we do not run away in fear due to

his supremacy), and his divine feet on a lotus flower (Asanapadhmaththil

azhuthina thiruvadigalumAi).

 

Perumal deeply impressed with our swamy showered his karunyam (grace) and with

arulappAdu (calling from perumal through the archakar) as “Vanamamalai Jeeyer!”

honored swamy with his thiruparivattam, thirumAlai, theertham etc and then

perumal instructed jeeyer to continue with the spreading and establishment of

the rAmAnuja siddhAntham (as darshana pravarthakar) as per his earlier orders

and take up all the responsibilities required for the same and in the process

uplift one and all. Swamy accepted perumal’s order as his prime duty and then

with great gratefulness accepted the prasadams humbly and with a mind which

wanted more of perumal’s darshanam and not wanting to leave came out in

pradakshinam. The greatness of emperuman is such that even after a long session

of enjoying his beauty no one ever wants to come out but wants to continue with

the same enjoyment (“apOdaikku apOdhu en ArAvamudhu” this sweet is ArA-amudhu,

that which never makes us bored).

 

On the way, swamy enjoyed all the divine beauties of the whole temple and

finally reached the mutt. In the mutt, koil annan and others honored swamy. In

this way swamy remained in srirangam for some more days doing mangalAsAsanams to

periya perumal daily. At that time koil annan requested swamy to tell him the

rahasyatraya sampradAya arthas once again, as he hasn’t grasped all the meanings

strongly in his mind, the previous time. Swamy replied, “In Erumbi, suddha

sattvam anna and others have requested me to visit them, so I have to leave now.

You can also accompany me there” So annan followed swami’s order and did

accordingly.

 

Next day, swamy started towards kAnchi to do mangalAsAsanam to deva perumal. On

the way, swamy did mangalasasanams to all the divya desams he passed and then

finally reached hasthigiri. On swamy’s arrival, appAchiyAranna and others

informed devaperumal about the same and got his thirumAlai, thiruparivattam and

other honors along with the sound of divine instruments and chatra samara

mariyAdais, along with a huge crowd of srivaishnavas. On reaching swamy they

did sAshtAnga pranAmams to swamy. Then the archakas of devaperumal sannadhi

submitted the honors, devaperumal has sent to swamy. Swamy accepted them with

due regards and proceeded towards perumal sannadhi.
