Days passed and periya Jeeyer wanted to have darshan of alwar. At the sametime, 
one note from senai mudaliyar, as a representative of vanamalalai perumal came, 
stating the necessity of vanamamalai jeeyer in the temple srikAryam 
(kainkaryam) in vanamamalai. Accepting it with due regards, periya Jeeyer 
ordered vanamamalai Jeeyer to follow the same.

Periya Jeeyer, along with Vanamamalai Jeeyer went to get the permission of 
periya perumAl. It was a daily routine practice of Periya Jeeyer to recite100 
paasurams from Nalayira divya prabhandam and even that day he was doing the 
same anusandhAnam and when he came in front of periya perumal the sattrumurai 
paasuram happened to be, ?aniyAr pozhil soozh aranganagarappa?. Periya perumal 
highly pleased, wanting to make Periya Jeeyer also happy uttered the following 
through the mouth of the archakar, after carrying thelakshmi nArayana vigraham 
in bhoopAlarAyam in his hand. ?JeeyA! I am aranganagarappan; I will come as 
thiruvArAdhanam for you and your acharya? and then handed over the vigraham to 
vanamamalai Jeeyer.

Originally aranganagarappan (Periya Perumal) came out from ksheerApthi due to 
the prarthana of chaturmuka brahma, from the divine feet of ksheerApthi nAdhan 
and hence called svayamvyakhtha roopam. Similarly this aranganagarappan gifted 
to vanamamalai Jeeyer also appeared from the divine feet of periya perumal and 
has the strength and authority as declared by perumal himself by his words 
through the archaka and hence can also be called svayamvyakhtha vigraham. 
Vanamamalai Jeeyer accepted the vigraham with great pleasure and looked into 
the graceful thirumugam of his acharya and uttered, ?periyOrkku AtpattAl 
perAdha payanum perumAru? (If we surrender to elders and great mahans what is 
that we cannot obtain?). Then perumal blessed them with thirumAlai, theertham, 
sandhanam, srisadagopan, prasadam and other honors. Then perumal called 
uththama nambi (arulapAdittu) and ordered him to leave the jeeyers with all the 
appropriate respectful honors in their mutt.

Uththama nimbi, similarly followed perumal?s orders and with chatra sAmaram and 
all type of divine instruments (ashtAdasa vAdhyams) and also with loudly saying 
the praises of the jeeyers, accompanied them and aranganagarappan to the mutt. 
From that day, vanamamalai rAmAnuja jeeyer received all glory and remained with 
fame along with his shisya, the astadiggajas.

Getting the permission of Periya Perumal to go to have darshan of alwar, Periya 
Jeeyer started his journey along with vanamamalai Jeeyer, who was likea shadow 
to his acharya. Like the sun traveling around the world carryingits brightness 
and spreading light through its rays, the acharya and shisya proceeded their 
journey towards thirunagari along with doing mangalAsAsanams to all the divya 
dEsams on the way.
