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
thathAyathatAthma sadhdhAthim rAmAnuja munim bhajE

Deeply enjoying the divine glory of nammAzhvAr, azhagiya manavAla perumal 
nAyanar did mangalAsAsanam to alwar, starting with ?mAthA pithA uvadhaya:? and 
ending with pranamAmi moordhnA? followed by the recitation of kanninun 
siruthAmbhu. While reciting the same and having the mesmerized darshan of the 
alwar, nAyanAr got deeply involved in the lines ?anaiiyAi aththanAi? and 
regarded alwar to be his relation in all types (mother, father etc.)

Seeing nAyanAr, so deeply involved in alwar?s darshanam, like seetha piratti 
who enjoyed perumal doing thiruvArAdhanam to periya perumal, azhagiya varadar 
got deeply involved in the darshanam of nAyanAr. Like thirupAnAzhvar who got 
himself dissolved in the beauty of ranganAtha and sang ?en amudhinai kanda 
kangal mattrondrinai kAnAvE? and vaduga nambi who regarded the darshanam of 
emperumAnAr even more important than namperumal darshanam, azhagiya varadar 
enjoyed nAyanAr?s darshanam.

Seeing the way nAyanar enjoyed azhvar?s darishanam and azhagiya varadar?s 
Acharya bhakthi, the achargars in the sannadhi were highly pleased by the 
extraordinary mix of acharya-shisya bhAvanai. They then, as representatives of 
alwar himself, presented the acharya and shisya with alwar?s parivattam, 
thirumAlai, theertham, sandhanam, prasAdam and on top of all thesethe 
madurakavigal and all other honors. Receiving all the honors presented by the 
archagars, nAyanar and azhagiya varadar came out of the sannadhi and did 
pradakshinam to alwar with their mind still lingering in the divine beauty and 
grace of nammAzhvar.

Nayanar was highly pleased and felt mentally peaceful for having been blessed 
with such a great Acharya, who is a jnani filled with bhakthi and vairaghyam. 
azagiya varadar then followed his acharya to the thirumAligai of thiruvAimozhi 
pillai and prostrated under the divine feet of pillai. That daythey stayed in 
the thirumAligai enjoying the thiruvArAdham to perumal doneby pillai, followed 
by the dadiyArAdhanam and then the shower of divine arthas by pillai on 
thirumanthram, bhagavat vishayam and many other divine subjects.

The next day, thiruvAimozhi pillai ordered azhagiya varadar to go along with 
his father and brother to his birthplace vanamamalai and stay with great 
regards to his parents by taking care of them with great sincerity and 
alsoinvolve himself in the divine kainkaryam of vanamamalai emperuman. 
Listening to the sweet words of the paramAcharyan but unable to get separated 
from his own acharyan, azhagiya varadar remained silent. Understanding the 
inner thought of azhagiya varadar, azhagiya manavAla perumAl nAyanAr requested 
his acharya thiruvAimozhi pillai to allow azhagiya varadar to stay on forsome 
more days and to let others continue their journey back. Pillai accepted for 
the same and hence rangAchariyar and his other sons returned back to 
vanamamalai leaving azhagiya varadar in Alwar thirunagari.
