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 paasurams of
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 to have 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 and sevai.
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 vigrahams like mAmunigal, one for him and one for his acharya. When
the vigrahams were ready swamy showered his grace on them and with his own 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. (To
