Swamy?s kainkaryams (Contd.)

 

Thereby swamy spent six months in brindavan and then wanted to go to pushkar to 
have darshan of theertharoopi (the holy water itself is god incarnation) 
emperuman overthere. Swamy told his wish to radhakrishnan and others who 
submitted huge amount of wealth with great love and respect to the divinefeet 
of swamy. Swamy also accepted them and then left for pushkar. On the way the 
king of jayapuram came along with all honours and welcomed swamy to his 
kingdom. But the king was filled with pride and ego and hence he wanted to be 
seated equal to swamy. Swamy thereby didn?t want to take evena drop of water in 
his kingdom and left from there immediately. Coming toknow of this, the king?s 
mother felt very bad for the abhacharam (insult) done to the great mahan. She 
immediately came running to swamy and fell to his feet and apologized for the 
mistake her son has committed. She submitted wealth and other offerings to the 
divine feet of swamy. Swamy due tohis grace forgave the
mistake of the king and further proceeded towards pushkar.  

 

There a vaishna prabhu by the name poorna mallu welcomed swamy and made 
allarrangements for swamy?s stay. Swamy stayed there for 2 days had the darshan 
of emperuman and then proceeded to ayodhya. Then swamy had the darshan of 
various other places on the way and finally reached varanasi through the banks 
of ganga. The vidwans in kasi got very angry to see swamy being praised with 
various titles and honours and hence they came for a debate with swamy. Swamy 
delivered a grand speech on the VishistAdvaita philosophy and left all the 
pandits gathered over there dumbfolded. The king of kasi was highly impressed 
by the mastery of swamy and his scolarliness. The king showed his due respect 
to swamy. Swamy stayed there for 1 or 2 days as per the request of the king and 
then proceeded towards chitrakoodam.

 

Swamy stayed in chitrakoodam for 2 months and completed his chaturmAsa viratham 
over there. From there swamy proceeded to jagannatha kshetram and hadthe divine 
darshan of purushotamam, did mangalasasanams to the perumal. On the way many 
kings and srivaishnavas prostrated swamy. Swamy showered his grace on one and 
all and inorder went to krushnaveni, godavari and finally reached Madhya 
pradesh. At that time the king over there, came and fell to swamy?s feet along 
with his family and welcomed swamy. Then swamy went to sanivArapettai, where he 
was again welcomed by the king along with hisfamily and was honoured with a 
village submitted to swamy?s feet. Swamyblessed the king and then proceeded to 
hasthigiri and had the divine darshan of perarulalan and perundevi thayar. 
Swamy did mangalasasanams to the divine couples and then proceeded towards 
chola desam.
