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

Standing in between the divine pillars, swamy had the darshan of Lord 
ranganatha, (?Sri RangarAja math raksheeth ramyajAmAtharam prabhum?). 
Swamyenjoyed the divine beauty of periya perumal from bottom to top 
(pAdhAdhikEsAntham) with the recitation of the amalanAdhipiran paasurams. Swamy 
then sung pallAndu to perumal, ?paduththa pAmpanai pallikondAnukku pallAndu?. 
Further swamy proceeded to do mangalAsAsanam to namperumal who stood with 
abhayahastham (a mudra assuring us that he will protect us and stopping us from 
leaving him), and with all the divyAyudhAs held in his hand, kavithamudi 
(showing the supremacy, paratvam of bhagavan), mugamum muruvalum (theface and 
the smile in it showing his soulabhyam so that we do not run awayin fear due to 
his supremacy), and his divine feet on a lotus flower (Asanapadhmaththil 
azhuthina thiruvadigalumAi).

Perumal deeply impressed with our swamy showered his karunyam (grace) and with 
arulappAdu (calling from perumal through the archakar) as ?Vanamamalai Jeeyer!? 
honored swamy with his thiruparivattam, thirumAlai, theertham etc and then 
perumal instructed jeeyer to continue with the spreading and establishment of 
the rAmAnuja siddhAntham (as darshana pravarthakar) as per his earlier orders 
and take up all the responsibilities required for the same and in the process 
uplift one and all. Swamy accepted perumal?s orderas his prime duty and then 
with great gratefulness accepted the prasadams humbly and with a mind which 
wanted more of perumal?s darshanam and not wanting to leave came out in 
pradakshinam. The greatness of emperuman is such that even after a long session 
of enjoying his beauty no one ever wants to come out but wants to continue with 
the same enjoyment (?apOdaikku apOdhu en ArAvamudhu? this sweet is ArA-amudhu, 
that which never makes us bored).  

On the way, swamy enjoyed all the divine beauties of the whole temple and 
finally reached the mutt. In the mutt, koil annan and others honored swamy.In 
this way swamy remained in srirangam for some more days doing mangalAsAsanams 
to periya perumal daily. At that time koil annan requested swamy to tell him 
the rahasyatraya sampradAya arthas once again, as he hasn?t grasped all the 
meanings strongly in his mind, the previous time. Swamy replied, ?In Erumbi, 
suddha sattvam anna and others have requested me to visit them, so I have to 
leave now. You can also accompany me there? So annan followed swami?s order and 
did accordingly.

Next day, swamy started towards kAnchi to do mangalAsAsanam to deva perumal. On 
the way, swamy did mangalasasanams to all the divya desams he passed and then 
finally reached hasthigiri. On swamy?s arrival, appAchiyAranna and others 
informed devaperumal about the same and got his thirumAlai, thiruparivattam and 
other honors along with the sound of divine instruments andchatra samara 
mariyAdais, along with a huge crowd of srivaishnavas. On reaching swamy they 
did sAshtAnga pranAmams to swamy. Then the archakas of devaperumal sannadhi 
submitted the honors, devaperumal has sent to swamy. Swamy accepted them with 
due regards and proceeded towards perumal sannadhi.
