HH Sri Vanamamalai Periya satakOpa rAmAnuja Jeeyer 1813-1843 (Eighteenth pattam)

Swamy?s kainkaryams (contd.)

While swamy was involved in the nithya kainkaryams of Srivaramangai nAchiyar 
and deivanAyaka perumal, it was time for azhvar vaikasi utsavam in 
azhvarthirunagari. Wanting to have the darshan of azhvar during that divine 
occasion, swamy proceeded with a number of shisyas to azhvar thirunagari. 
Hearing about the visit of swamy the srivaishnavas in azhvar kainkaryam happily 
delivered the message in front of azhvar who sent his thirumAlai, 
thiruparivattam and other honors to heartily welcome Vanamamalai swamy. Swamy 
whowas staying near an arjuna tree in the outskirts of thirunagari was welcomed 
by the srivaishnavas with azhvar?s prasadams. Swamy prostrated and humbly 
accepted the honors and in a palanquin came round the divine streets with 
divine instruments played and many srivaishnavas announcing the praisesof swamy 
in loud voices and finally reached the mutt.

Swamy got up early in the morning (ushat kAlam) and finished his anushtanams 
when some srivaishnavas came and welcomed swamy to have darshan of azhvar. So 
swamy immediately left for the same. In the entrance swamy had darshan of 
?enavAyar thalaivan? and then proceeded inside. Then swamy was welcomed by 
?satakOpar thEmalarthAlEndhiya pAdhukamAm endhai erAmAnusan?in thirukkaithalam 
(Sri ramanujan-divine feet of nammazhvar in the hands of srivaishnavas). Swamy 
immediately did dhandha pranamams and humbly accepted the eramAnusan on his 
head and then accepted the thirumAlai and thiruparivattam and adorning the same 
went in front of azhvar and did mangalAsAsanams to azhvar. Azhvar was highly 
pleased and hence along with the arulappAdu, ?nam vAnamAmalai rAmAnuja jeeyer? 
blessed swamy with theertham, mAlai, parivattam, abhaya hastam and other 
honours along with the SrirAmAnujanplaced on swamy?s head. Swamy accepted 
everything with lots of gratefulness and then proceeded to do mangalAsAsanams 
to the other sannadhis and then finally returned back to the mutt. Then as per 
usual practice, swamy received all the honours during the utsavams and then 
returned back to Vanamamalai.

In Vanamamalai, the chatram and sAmaram of deivanAyakan was in a very bad 
shape. Swamy submitted a beautiful chatram with a golden handle and a pair of 
sAmaram (hand fan). Then swamy made a beautiful thirumanjana vEdhigai (the seat 
on which perumal is placed during the divine bath) with beautiful pillars and 
upper cover and also a crown called the ?bhoopAlarAyan? andsubmitted it to 
deivanAyakan and Srivaramangai nAchiyar to be seated and grace the crowd of 
srivaishnavas. For Srivaramangai nAchiyar swamy made a silver thOlukkiniyAn (on 
which the nAchiyar comes out in procession). For deivanAyaka perumal, swamy 
submitted a gaja lakshmi vAhanam.
