It wasbhagavat sankalpam to unite nAyanar and vanamamalai Jeeyer swamy to spreadand make our darshanam (rAmAnuja siddhAntham) flourish, in order to lift the jeevatmas who were lost in the samsAric ocean of miseries without realizing their own svaroopam. After submitting this responsibility to the acharya and shisya periya perumal relaxed without any tension in his adhisesha paryankam (bed of adhisesha. Vanamamalai Jeeyer, who had deeply involved himself in the service of his acharya and mangalasasanam to namperumal, one fine day wished to go to thirumalai to do mangalAsAsanam to thiruvEnkatamudaiyan and appealed the same to nAyanAr. Like thirumazhisai Alwar who followed kanikannan, his shisya (?kanikannanpOgindrAn kamarupoonkachchi manivanna nee kidakka vEndA- thunivudaiya sennAp pulavanum pOgirEn- neeyum nin painnAgappAi surittikol?) nAyanAr also decided to go along with ponnadikkAl Jeeyer.

Finally they reached thirumalai (?paran sendru sEr thiruvEnkata mAmalai?). ThiruvEnkata mudaiyan didn?t want them to have darshan like all the otherdevotees. He wanted to show the greatness of the acharya and shisya, who were none other than thiruanandAzhvan, emperuman?s bed and his aparAvathAram(incarnation), to the world and hence he showed the same in the dream ofperiya kElvi Jeeyer. Periya kElvi Jeeyer saw in his dream, himself standing to the south of Alwar theertham facing north. In front of him lay a Srivaishnava, with a huge body covering from the top of thirumalai to the bottom, like periya perumal with his thirumudi in the west and thiruvadi in theeast and facing south. Under his feet was standing a Jeeyer. Periya kElvi Jeeyer was amazed to have this darshan and he enquired to the people around who the Srivaishnava and the Jeeyer were?
