Meanwhile, the king of kerala heard about the greatness of Vanamamalai Jeeyer 
swamigal and wanted to have darshan of this great mahan. He came to 
vanamamalai, bathed in the sacred tank ?settru thAmarai?(which has been praised 
as, ?rAjabhAvA vahEchuna:?,?bhukthi mukthi pradhE? etc), finished his 
anushtanams and with clear mind and body proceeded towards devanAthan sannadhi. 
He submitted to emperuman all the valuable stone studded jewels and grand 
vastrams he has got. He ordered to make special prasadams(thaligai- 
akkAravadisil and many others) and with great love submitted to theemperuman.

Later he proceeded to have darshan of the jeeyar with great enthusiasm. Ashe 
entered the doorsteps of the mutt, he was awestricken by the divine glory of 
the jeeyar filled with atmost jnanam, wearing dvadasa pundram all over his 
body, beautified by the yagnOpaveetham, thulasi mAla, nalinAksha mAlaand 
various thirupavithra malas. The thirumugam(divine face) of the jeeyer was like 
a lotus flower and his eyes like the petals of the flower. Witha beautiful 
shikai adding to the beauty of his back the jeeyer was seated on a koormAsanam. 
With all grace, the jeeyer was delivering bhagavat vishayam to all the 
srivaishnavas in front of him. The king out of great respect fell down on the 
same place and did danda pranAmams to the great mahan. The king went to the 
state of ecstasy, considering his bhakyam to have obtained this opportunity to 
have the darshan of such a great acharya in his lifetime. To show his joy he 
submitted some wealth and a few villages to themutt, to be used for nithya 
dhadhiyArAdhanam.

The king then requested Jeeyer swamy to present him with sreepAda theerthamand 
prasAda sEsham, to purify his soul. Since the king didn?t have any 
sambandham(relation) with the mutt, Jeeyer hesitated but on the request of all 
the srivaishnavas collected over there to shower his grace on the king,jeeyer 
blessed the king with the same. Accepting with atmost pleasure, the king 
submitted all the responsibilities of the deivanAyaka perumal 
templeadministration, along with the villages and all the properties of the 
temple under the incharge of vanamamalai jeeyer and returned back to his own 
place with mental peace.

SOME KAINKARYAMS OF THE JEEYER SWAMIGAL:

1. Construction of the udaiyavar sannadhi;
2. Renovation of the vanamamalai vimAnam which was in a very bad state;
3. Construction of the artha mandapam;

Along with all these kainkaryams, Jeeyer also took care of the vanamamalai 
temple administration just like udaiyavar?s administration of the periya koil. 
He also took care of the nithya dhadhiyArAdhanam at the vanamamalai mutt. 
Though very busy with all these kainkaryams his mind was always in the thought 
of his acharya and he very badly wanted to go and do nithya kainkaryam to 
nayanAr. Deciding to go for the same to thirunagari, he appointed one 
srivaishnava to be incharge of dhadhiyArAdhanam in the mutt and srikAryams in 
the temple. At the same time????.
