Sri Parthasarathi thunai
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha
Sri Vara Vara MunayE Namaha
Sri VanAchala mahA munayE Namaha

SrisailEsa dayA pAthram deebhakthyAdhi gunArnavam
Yateendra pravanam vandhE ramya jAmataram munim

RamyajAmAtru yOgeendra pAdha rEkhA mayam sadhA
ThathAyath thAthma sadhdhAthim rAmAnuja munim bhajE

Pleased with the thaniyan told by mahAryar, Periya Jeeyer swamy ordered as 
follows:

?Like the ?SrisailEsa dayApAthram? thaniyan, which was submitted by periya 
perumal himself in the garuda mandapam with three kandams, this thaniyan should 
also be regarded equally important and should be recited by all Srivaishnavas. 
Like starting with ?pallandu pallandu? and ending with ?appAnjasanniyamum 
pallAndE? considering the first and second paasuramsof thirupallandu to be like 
a single paasuram and recited together; and like the varaha charam slokam which 
has two parts (padhyadvayam) but still considered as a single mantram; and like 
the mantra ratnam, which though considered as a single mahA mantra rahasyam, 
still has two parts detailing about the angam and angi; and like the ?Hari? 
padham which has 2 aksharas; Consider ?SrisailEsa? thaniyan and ?ramya jAmAthru 
yOgeendra? thaniyan to be connected to each other and to have equal importance.?

Ramanuja pillai and others considered it to be their greatest wealth, bestowed 
on them by periya jeeyer on that very auspicious day and felt elated tohave the 
blessings of such great mahans. From that day, they followed Periya Jeeyer?s 
words as their prime duty and recited the thaniyans in the appropriate manner. 
(?Eka padhamAghavum anga angi pradhipAdhyamAna EkamanthramAgavum anusandhiththu 
pOruvargal?).

Some days passed and vanamamalai deivanAyaka perumal wanted Vanamamalai Jeeyer 
swamy for his service in the temple and hence a note was sent by senai 
mudaliyar to Srirangam to send Vanamamalai Jeeyer to sreekAryam at vanamamalai 
sannadhi. Seeing the note, periya Jeeyer ordered ponadikkAl jeeyer accordingly. 
Not being able to refuse the order of mAmunigal and emperuman himself, 
vanamamalai Jeeyer was depressed again with sorrow with the following excellent 
verse reverberating in his mind ?Acharyanai pirindiruppArAr manamE pEsu? (?Oh! 
My mind Tell me who will stay away from his acharya??).

At the same time, mAmunigal ordered appAchiyAr anna to go to kainkaryam at 
perumAl kOil and anna was also hesitant and worried to leave the ghosti 
andsevai. Periya Jeeyer held his hand, went to the sannadhi and told him, ?Go 
and get the theertha sombhu (vessel to keep water), which I have named 
?ramanusan? and had used for many years and when it become old and worn out the 
same is being kept in Vanamamalai Jeeyers thiruman basket?. Vanamamalai Jeeyer 
considering it to be jeeyer?s prasadam placed it in his?thiruman basket? and 
payed homage to it regularly. When appAchiyAr anna got it, swamy took it in his 
hand and along with the old thiruvAzhi, thirusanghu, thiruman and srichoorna 
symbol markers with him which has worn out and unusable, swamy ordered anna to 
use all of them and make 2 vigrahamslike mAmunigal, one for him and one for his 
acharya.

When the vigrahams were ready swamy showered his grace on them and with hisown 
hands handed them over to vanamamalai swamy and anna and said, ?Now that I am 
accompanying both of you in the form of archA vigraham, shed all your worry and 
proceed to do your duties in vanamamalai and perumal koil respectively.?

Taking the vigraham from swamy, Vanamamalai Jeeyer consoled himself and 
proceeded his journey towards sreevaramangai.
