HH Sri Vanamamalai Periya deivanAyaka rAmAnuja Jeeyer 1700-1732 (eleventh 
pattam)-continued

Like Alavandaar Sri Periya deivanAyaka rAmAnuja jeeyer swamy graced one 
SriVenkatacharyar, who surrendered under the divine feet of Sri rangappa swamy 
and did manthra manthrArtha and bhagavat vishaya kalashepams under Sri 
deivanAyakan swamy. Sri Venkatacharyar remained with immense jnana, bhakthi and 
vairAkhya satisfying all the necessary qualities to become the next 
peedAdhipadhi of the mutt. Hence Sri Periya deivanAyaka swamy gave sanyasa 
tovenkatAcharyar and named him ?ThiruvEnkata Jeeyer?.

Once, Sri ThiruvEnkata Jeeyer swamy got the permission of Sri deivanAyakan 
swamy and went to alwar thirunagari to have the darshan and to do 
mangalAsAsanam to Azhvar. Azhvar welcomed Jeeyer by honoring him with his 
theertham, thirumAlai, thiruparivattam, rAmAnujan and finally with prasadam in 
Jeeyer?s mAdukara vessel (bhikshApAthram). Azhvar requested Jeeyer to stay 
there in the sannadhi and do kalashepams. And hence from that day thiruvEnkata 
Jeeyer continued doing him kalashepams in thirunagari. Meanwhile one day, 
Vanamamalai deivanAyakan Jeeyer swamy can to do mangalasAsanam to Azhvarand 
then proceeded towards Srirangam. At that time he took Sri thiruvEnkata jeeyer 
along with him to have the darshan of Periya perumal.

After the mangalasAsanams at the temple, the king of the place with great 
respect very happily welcomed swamy. Due to the king?s request swamy 
thencontinued to stay in the mutt over there. Sri ThiruvEnkata Jeeyer prayed 
for the arrangements for a mahAratham for Azhvar in the sannadhi of Periya 
perumal. The pandia king then ordered for the required amount of wealth tobe 
passed on to Sri ThiruvEnkata Jeeyer swamy. In this way huge amount ofwealth 
was submitted to the divine feet of koil thiruvEnkata Jeeyer.

Then ThiruvEnkata jeeyer, prostrated vAnamAmalai Jeeyer and with his permission 
for Azhvar thiruththEr returned back to thirunagari along with the huge wealth. 
Jeeyer prostrated Azhvar and requested to grant permission for thiruththEr 
according to the wish of Periya perumal. Jeeyer then informed the kerala king 
about the arrangements. The king immediately sent the required materials for 
the kainkaryam. Accepting the same Sri ThiruvEnkata Jeeyer continued with the 
thiruththEr kainkaryam in the appropriate manner.

Sri ThiruvEnkata Jeeyer then invited his acharya, vAnamAmalai Jeeyer swamy for 
the rathOtsavam. Azhvar was decorated beautifully with elegant jewels and 
flower garlands and was placed inside the ratham (chariot). After the grand 
rathOtsava celebration thiruvEnkata Jeeyer rushed to srirangam to deliver the 
good news of Azhvar?s rathOtsavam to Periya perumal and after that stayed back 
in koil (srirangam) for some more days.

In vAnamAmalai, Sri deivanAyakan Jeeyer swamy one fine day got up in the prAtah 
kalam (early morning) as usual and did all his nithyakarmAnushtAnams (daily 
routines) in the appropriate manner and then went to do thiruvArAdhanam to his 
thiruvArAdhana moorthi, washed perumal?s divine feet and accepted the SripAda 
theertham and distributed the same to all his disciples. Then as usual he did 
mangalasAsanams and continued his kalashepams. Following that swamy did 
thiruvArAdhanam to aranganagarappan followed by dhadheeyArAdhanam.

After all these were over swamy sat meditating on the divine feet of his 
acharya infront of emperuman. Immensely happy with all the kainkaryams done by 
swamy, Sri vaikundanikEthan Sriman nArAyanan gave darshan to swamy on top of 
vinadhai siruvan (garudan). Enjoying the divine darshan swamy attained samAdhi 
and slowly the jeevatma escaped through the susumna nAdi breakingopen the 
skull. Emperuman happily led the jeevan to paramapadham.
