Sri Parthasarathi thunai

On reaching kancheepuram, swamy had darshan of all the sannadhis in order as 
per the following sloka :

?SrimathdvAravaram mahathhi palipeetAkrayam panEndrahrudham gopeenAmramanam 
varAhavabhusham Sri bhattanAtham thathA I
Srimantham satavarinam kaliripum Sri bhakthisAram munim poornam lakshmana 
yOginam munivarA nAthyanatha dvAdhasam II
Sriman majjanamanthapam sarasijam hedeesa bhOgeeshvarou rAmam neelamanim 
mahAnasavaram dhArshyam nrusimham prabhum I
SEnAnyam karipoodharam thathu pari sri punya kotim thatha thanmathyE varadham 
ramA sahasaram vandhE thatheeyair vrutham I kamala nivEsi thAngri kamalam 
kamalAramanam kanamani bhooshana tyudhi kadharitha kAthrusim I
Abhaya katha sudarshana saroruhacArukaram karisi karisEkaram kimapi chEdasimE 
nidhathE?

The above sloka excellently shows the order of sannadhis located in the temple, 
most of which is seen even today in varadaraja perumal koil, kanchi (bali 
peetam, lord venugopala, lord gnyAna piran, sri bhattarpiran, sri saTakOpa, sri 
kali kandri-thirumangai Azhvar, thirumazhisai piran, periya nambi,emperumAnAr, 
mudhal azhvars, mudali?s guarding the entrance, abhisheka mantapam, perundEvi 
thAyAr, thiruvAzhiAzhvan, thiruananthAhzhvan, chakravarthi thirumagan, kariya 
mAnikka varadar, thirumadap palli, periya thiruvadi, azhagiya singar, senai 
mudaliyar after darshan of all of them infront of usappears the thiru-aththi 
malai on which stays the lord varadaraja along with his consorts Sridevi and 
bhoodevi under the divine punyakoti vimAnam andalong with all his divya ayudhas 
in his hands.)

In this way swamy had the darshan of all the sannadhis and came infront of 
devarajan and did mangalasasanam to perumal as follows,?mangalam vEdhasE vEdhi 
mEthi nEgruha mEthinE I VaradhAya dayA dhAmnE thirOdhAya mangalam?.

DevAdhirajan highly pleased called swamy with arulappAdu and bestowed his 
theertham, thirumAlai, thiruparivattam, srisadagopan and other prasadams to 
swamy. Accepting the same with due regards swamy proceeded to the mutt 
andstaying there continued his mangalasasanam to devaperumal for three more 
days. Then swamy started his journey towards thirumalai to do mangalasasanam to 
thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn. But on the way, some chaturthAcharyas from erumbi came to 
know about swamy?s visit and hence came to swamy and after paying their due 
respects requested swamy to visit erumbi. 

Swamy accepted their invitation and gave them the bhakyam of doing various 
kainkaryams to swamy. They finally requested swamy to grace them with the 
divine rahasya arthas and bhagavat vishayam. Swamy accepted and delivered the 
divine arthas in front of suddha satvam anna and others who requested for the 
same along with pOllipAkkam nayanAr and others (the chaturthAcharyas) and koil 
annan and others who have accompanied swamy from srirangam. Swamy thereby 
completed the rahasya artha kAlashepam followed by the bhagavat vishaya 
kalashepam by which time a year has passed since swamy came to erumbi.

Then swamy went along with all of them to thirukkadigai (?neel sOlai 
vanpoonkatigai) to have the darshan of thakkAn and the akkArakkani emperuman 
ontop of the hill (?katigai thadankundrinmEl nindra akkArakani?). There, swamy 
stayed for three days and did mangalasasanam to the emperuman. Then swamy 
proceeded towards thirumalai.
