Being amazed to see the scene in the dream, periya kElvi jeeyer asked the 
people around about the srivaishnava and the Jeeyer at his feet. The 
peoplereplied, ?They are the muppathArAyira perukkar, kOil azagiya manavAla 
perumal nAyanAr and his shisya, ponnadikkAl Jeeyer?. Hearing this periya kElvi 
jeeyer woke up with surprise. It was then time for him to get ready and go to 
the second day purattAsi thirunAl morning purappAdu.  

Before the eyal ghosthi, periya kElvi Jeeyer told about his dream to thOzhappar 
who with surprise expressed the experience in the form of a sloka. Some elders, 
not belonging to thirupathi but who have come from outside for the celebration, 
came to know of this and started discussing among themselves about the dream. 
One said, ? The Srivaishnava who has appeared in periya kElvi jeeyer?s dream is 
none other than kOil nAyanar;? another followed,? Oh! Yes it is our fortune 
that he has come to thirumalai at this time for taking part in the purattAsi 
utsavam;? another said,? yeah and nAyanAr calls vanamamalai jeeyer his very 
close shisya as ?ponadikkAl jeeyer?. Everyone over there were very happy to 
know that nAyanar along with his shisya was present in thirumalai at that time 
to glorify the celebration.

Meanwhile, nAyanar has reached thirumalai with a great desire to have the 
darshan of thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn (?venkatath thuraivArkku nama?) prostrated the 
thirumalai, and then having darshan of govindarajar in keezh thirupathi 
proceeded to climb the hill and with great bhakthi bathed in the swamy 
pushkarini along with vanamamalai jeeyer, wore the thiruman kAppu and in a 
orderly fashion entered the temple doing appropriate mangalasAsanams at 
thevarious sannadhis and finally reaching the divine feet of 
thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn. The acharya and shisya did mangalAsAsanam to 
thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn ?Sri Venkata nivAsAya SrinivAsAya mangalam? and then 
started climbing down the hill.

Then nAyanar, followed by vanamamalai Jeeyer as usual, then started his journey 
towards, ?vulagamEththum AzhiyAn aththiyoorAn?. He did mangalAsAsanam to all 
the surrounding divya dEsams and then proceeded to do mangalAsAsanam to 
dEvaperumAl. They entered the temple in the appropriate way and stood in front 
of devarajan reciting the verses, ?kadha punas sanga rathAnga 
kalpaga???.trivikrama dvach charanA?? from aalavandaar?s strotra ratnam. 
Devaperumal highly pleased with the acharya and shisya showered his grace and 
with a cool kataksham blessed them with theertham, thirumAlai, thiruparivattam, 
srisadagopan, prasadams and other honors. Then nAyanar and Jeeyer proceeded 
towards Sriperumbudur.

Just on stepping into the holy land of Sriperumbudur, nAyanAr prostrated the 
land with due respect. ?eduvO perumbudur engE pirandhO ethirAsar em edarai 
theerththAr (Is this perumbudur? Was this the place where ethirAsar took birth 
to wash all our miseries?) Wondered nAyanAr. He started reciting the paasuram 
starting with, ?Andugal nAl thingalAi? and ended with, ?erAmAnusanai 
porindhinamE?. Then nAyanar enjoyed the divine darshan of emperumAnAr and 
requesting ethirAjar?s permission to learn the sribhasyam received the same and 
then went back to perumAl kOil and became a shisya ofkidAmbi nAyanar and 
starting hearing Sribhasyam from him.

Meanwhile, vanamamalai Jeeyer also stayed in perumal koil along with his 
acharya doing all sort of service to him and also joined him as a co-student in 
listening to Sribhasya. Days passed and the Sribhasya lectures came to an end. 
Now, nAyanar along with his shisyas started towards kOil (Srirangam), bathed in 
the kaveri, finished anushtanams and then went to the temple,did mangalAsAsanam 
to periya perumal and spent time in sath kAlashEpam.

*Nayanar takes up sanyasa*???..We will see in the next posting.
