Thiruvenkata Jeeyer, then welcomed swamy and made the required arrangementsfor 
swamy?s stay. Jeeyer then requested swamy to bless them all with bhagavat 
vishaya kalashEpam. Swamy accepted for the same. During the days while swamy 
delivered kalashEpams on alwar?s arulicheyals, many mahans surrendered to 
swamy?s divine feet and deeply enjoyed the divine outpourings. Swamy completed 
the kalashEpam and did sattrumurai and then proceeded tothiruvEnkatamudaiyan 
sannadhi for mangalAsAsanam. Swamy then took the permission of perumal to leave 
the next day to continue his kainkaryams in vanamamalai and returned back to 
the mutt.

That night in the dream of swamy, appeared a pretty young girl, with a facelike 
a freshly blossomed lotus flower. She climbed over the lap of vanamamalai 
swamy. Like a beloved daughter talking to her father and enchanting him with 
her sweet innocent kid?s talk, the girl continued to talk to swamy calling him, 
?Anna? (a reference to father) and said ?Take me alsoto vanamamalai?. Swamy 
woke up astonished by the dream. At that time, many others including 
thiruvEnkata Jeeyer had similar dreams which they expressed in front of swamy. 
In their dreams, nAchiyar has said as follows, ?My father, vAnamAmalai rAmAnuja 
Jeeyer, is returning back to his place. Send me also along with him to 
vanamAmalai?.

Many of them had the same dream and hence they rushed immediately to swamy?s 
sannadhi. At that time swamy, told about his dream to thiruvEnkata Jeeyer. 
Hearing this everyone got further surprised and totally believed that there was 
absolute truth in the dream that each one of them witnessed. ThiruvEnkata 
Jeeyer, then told the following poorva vruththANtham (old legend):

?Many Many years ago, one thanikkOil nAchiyar appeared in thirumalai. But since 
alarmEl mangai thAyAr is already present in the divine chest of emperumAn it 
was finally decided before the kalyana mahOtsavam that there should not be a 
separate sannadhi for thayar on the hills. So from then this thAyar has 
remained without any separate sannadhi and kalyana mahOtsavam. ?

Saying this Jeeyer continued to say, ?yesterday thAyAr appeared in my dream and 
said, ?vanamAmalai jeeyer is my father and deivanAyakan my husband. I am going 
along with him to varamangai. You also come following me?.So this is the wish 
of nAchiyar and hence vanamamalai jeeyer swamy take your daughter along with 
you to vanamamalai and celebrate a grand kalyAnOtsavam. Since this nAchiyAr has 
appeared due to the wish of AlarmEl mangai uraimArban, you will attain all the 
athma balam (?Atma lAbhAth param kinchithanya nAsthi?) from deivanAyakan due to 
her purushakAram (recommendation) and will become a poornar (complete one)?

Listening to all these words of thiruvEnkata jeeyer with great surprise, swamy 
then with great joy prostrated appan and with nAchiyar in a separate palanquin, 
along with sufficient archakas, parichArakas and srivaishnavas forsafety 
started on his journey.
