Swamy?s kainkaryams (Contd.)

 

While swamy was in the thought of doing a divya desa yathra, at the same time 
some shisyas came with request letters from many shisyas in various places and 
also personally requested swamy to grace adiyars from sethu to Himalayas and 
bless them with his sripada theertham. Swamy was happy with the coincidence of 
his thoughts and the wishes of his disciples and hence ordered for the 
preparations necessary for the yathra.

 

Then swamy submitted the proposal in the divine feet of the divya 
dampathis(Srivaramangai samEtha Sri deivanAyakan). Perumal also happily blessed 
swamy with special honours and bid goodbye. Swamy then along with his shishyas 
started his journey towards north.

 

First swamy went to Srivilliputtur and did mangalasasanams to andal. Then with 
her permission swamy proceeded towards Srirangam to have the divine darshan of 
Ranganathan. On the way swamy did mangalasasanams to azhagar in 
thirumAliruncholi, thirumOgoor kAlamEga perumal, thirukkOtiyur ari and 
meiyamalaiyAn in thirumeiyam.

 

Swamy finally reached koil (Srirangam) and took a divine bath in the 
sacradriver kAvEri (?gangayil punidhamAya kAviri). Swamy finished his 
anushtanams, while the srivaishnavas from Arangan sannadhi came along with the 
archaka parichArakas carrying the uduththukalaindha peedhagavAdi of perumal, 
soodikalaintha thuzhAi mAlai, abhaya hastham and prasadams. Arayar, 
uththamanambi and other srivaishnavas came along with the chatrasAmara honours 
andamidst the sound of ashtAdasa instruments to welcome swamy. Swamy with joy 
on seeing such a huge crowd of srivaishnavas prostrated them. Then, swamy was 
honoured with parivattam, malai and prasadams of ranganathan. Then swamy sat on 
the ivory palanquin and came round the streets of Srirangam andfinally reached 
the gopuravAsal (front entrance to the temple).

 

Swamy started his mangalasasanams with ?devigOdhayethipathi? and in order had 
the darshan of andal, EmperumAnAr and others and reached ranganathansannadhi. 
Emperuman sent his saTakOpan in the hands of the archakar to honour swamy. 
Swamy prostrated and accepted the honour with pleasure (?thiruppolindha sEvadi 
en senniyin mEl poriththAi?) and proceeded inside. Swamy then did 
mangalasasanams to thiruvarangan lying on the divine serpant as per the 
arulicheyals of Azhvars standing inbetween the thirumanathoon. Swamy enjoyed 
reciting the paasurams of amalanAdhipiran and perumal thirumozhi about 
ranganatha. Perumal with joy called ?Vanamamalai rAmAnuja Jeeyer? and presented 
him with his thiruparivattam, thirumAlai, Abhaya hasthamwhich swamy accepted 
with pleasure and then returned back to the mutt.
