HH Sri Vanamamalai Periya Pattarbiran jeeyer 1843-1853 (nineteenth pattam)

 

Swamy?s kainkaryams (Contd.)

 

Later swamy found the dwajasthambham of deivanayakan in a ruined state, 
andhence swamy renovated the same with a strong wood and decorated it with a 
fully gold plated covering. The prathistotsavam (ceremony of installation of 
the newly made dvajasthambham) was celebrated in a grand manner. Following this 
kainkaryam, swamy proceeded to renovate the divya vimanam of Vanamamalai 
perumal, which was also in a bad state. Swamy made a golden stoopi and then 
also renovated the vimanams of sirivaramangai nachiyar, Andal, EmperumAnAr 
sannadhis with pleasant colouring to the stoopis and did the prathisthotsavam 
in a grand manner.

 

Later one day, deivanayakan along with sirivaramangai nAchiyar appeared in 
swamy?s dream and ordered as follows: ?Oh! jeeyer you have done a number of 
kainkaryams. Now arrange for a beautiful mandapam after the big thirumadhil for 
me and your daughter varamangai to enjoy during panchaparva and other utsavams 
without any problem due to rain or sun on top of various vahanams.? Swamy was 
highly pleased to have got the great bhakyam of doing kainkaryam as per the 
order of emperuman as requested by elaya perumal (?kriyathAmithi mAm vadha?) 
and nammazhvar (?mugappE koovippani kollAi?). Immediately he engaged many 
architects in the job and made the stones required for the pillars to be 
carried by the elephants granted to him during the yathras. Swamy instructed 
the architects to build a beautiful mandapam with beautiful sculptural works in 
a very short span of time. Thereby very soon a very beautiful and strong 
mandapam with 250 pillars sculptured artistically was ready. Swamy
honoured all the architects who did the kainkaryam quickly and efficiently.

 

Then swamy constructed a separate temple for the thiruvenkatamudaiyan in 
Vanamamalai sannadhi and did the pradhistai. Meanwhile, the divine couples in 
Srivilliputtur, Sri Andal and rangamannar decorated as the bride and bridegroom 
gave darshan in swamy?s dream and instructed him to make a big thiruththEr for 
the divine couples to enjoy riding along the divine streets. Immediately swamy 
wrote to the king of thiruvanandhapuram and got good quality wood and 
transported the same to srivilliputtur through elephants. Swamy engaged the 
best carpenters for this work and according to sastras arranged for the big 
ratham to be constructed and submitted the same to the divine couples. Then 
swamy submitted a golden parmAsanam to pattarbirAn in srivilliputtur.

 

Swamy made a big and beautiful golden palanquin to Thirunarayanapuram chella 
pillai and in one side of it arranged for carving the image of aranganagarappan 
and on the other side swamy?s image with folded hands (anjali hastham). Further 
swamy constructed mutts in kanchi and thiruvallikeni. In thirunelvEli, swamy 
obtained the mutt that hosted chakravarthi thirumagan andpiratti. Swamy 
submitted a beautifully made dolai to aranganagarappan. Swamy then submitted a 
big elephant for Periya perumal in Srirangam.

 

Later swamy wanting to spend some time under the divine feet of 
thirunarayanapuram chella pillai with great enthusiasm made the required 
arrangements for the yathra and after having darshan at srivilliputtur and 
other divya desams proceeded to thirunarayanapuram.
