Swamy’s kainkaryams (Contd.)

 

 

 

Swamy reached thirunarayanapuram and there he took a divine dip in the kalyani

saras and finished his daily rituals and got ready to start towards the sannadhi

when selvapillai sent his adiyars along with his thirumalai, thiruparivattam,

abhaya hastham and other prasadams to welcome swamy with respective honours.

Swamy humbly accepted the same and proceeded to the sannadhi. Swamy submitted

peedhambharam and other upakaranams to emperuman and did mangalasasanams to

thirunarayanan and selva pillai along with ubaya nachiyars. Then swamy with

great respect accepted perumal’s theertham, thiruparivattam, SrisaTakOpan, and

then proceeded to have the divine darshan of EmperumAnAr, Manavala mAmunigal and

other sannadhis and then proceeded towards the mutt and in a grand manner did

dhadheeyArAdhanam to the bhagavatas.

 

 

 

In this way swamy stayed there for some more days. During those days swamy

daily finished his anushtanams and then blessed the bhagavatas with sripada

theertham and then did panchasamskarams to interested bhagavatas. Then swamy

elaborately did kalashepams on the deep inner meanings of the arulicheyals of

the Azhvars. After dhadheeyArAdhanam swamy blessed his shisyas with

pravachanams on sribhasyam, sruthaprakasikai and other great books. While swamy

stayed in thirunarayanapuram in this manner doing mangalasasanams to chella

pillai, the king of Karnataka coming to know about the great qualities of swamy

(sama thamAdhi gunangal), his knowledge and capability to do pravachanams wanted

to invite swamy to his capital and accept swamy’s sripada theertham and learn

from swamy the arulicheyals which explain about the tattva hitha and

purushartham and therefore sent his minister to swamy’s sannadhi. The minister

requested swamy and swamy though filled with virAkyam still accepted to go

for the welfare of the king and inturn his subjects and got the permission from

thirunarayanan and reached mahisurapuram via srirangapattinam.
