Adding to the kainkaryams in vanamamalai, ponnadikkAl Jeeyer swamy also made 
and submitted a crown and other jewels (thiruvAbharanams) for thirukurungudi 
nambi, renovated the madhis (walls) and gopurams over there and also built a 
kaisikOtsava mahA mandapam and many other mandapams as part of his kainkaryams 
in thirukurungudi. Swamy thereby stayed with the kainkarya sri.

At that time, one-day swamy bathed in settruthAmarai and finished his 
anushtanams when one of swamy?s shisyas chinniammAl came and payed homage to 
swamy?s divine feet. Swamy enquired her about her whereabouts as a seriesof 
questions. For which chinniammAl answered as follows (the dialogue shows how 
great a srivaishnavite she was):

Oh lady! Which is your
