Jeeyer nAyanar told vanamamalai swamy the last instructions of periya Jeeyer as follows:

 “Swamy has instructed to give the upathandam in his trithandam, the thiruvAzhi ring in his hand and thiruvadi nilai (divya pAdhukai) of thiruvAimozhi pillai to you to be kept with you always.  Swamy has also told to inform you to do a grand thiruvadhyayanam (final rituals) and then attained paramapada prApthi”

 With these words Jeeyer Nayanar submitted the upathandam, thiruvAzhi ring and thiruvadi nilai to vanamamalai Jeeyer.   Jeeyer accepted them with due regards and then stayed there for few more days along with annan and others.  Then wanting to go back to vanamamalai, Jeeyer went to periya perumal sannadhi to request for permission to leave.  While standing in front of perumal, Jeeyer swamy got deeply involved in the divine kalyana gunas of emperuman and was cherishing the same as per the arulicheyals of alwars when periya perumal got deeply impressed by jeeyer’s bhakthi and along with the appropriate honors uttered the following:

“Oh! Jeeyer all my sorrow due to missing periya jeeyer has been washed out on seeing you, his shisya. You from now on stay in the place of periya Jeeyer and spread and establish the rAmAnuja darshanam and prevent the world from going in the wrong path”

 Thereby after getting the honors and blessings of periya perumal, jeeyer proceeded to vanamamalai.  In vanamamalai, Jeeyer did lot of renovations at the temple viz., the vimanam, gopuram, prAkAram etc.

 After the temple kainkaryams, swamy then started his sanchAram (going from one place to another) and as per his acharya’s words all through the way won over many kudrishtis (who preached the wrong philosophies to people) and remained with great fame.  He delivered the manthra-manthrArtha rahasyas to all those jeevatmas who surrendered to his feet to get uplifted.  Many people surrendered to swamy and paved their way for moksha.  In this way swamy stayed in vanamamalai for few more days and then wanting to do mangalAsAsanam to  “pAyum neer aranganthannul pAmpanai pallikonda mAyan” (ranganatha who was lying on adhisesha amidst the kaveri river) once again he stood in front of vanamamalai deivanAyaga perumal to take leave.  After getting the permission of perumal he proceeded with his jnana puthran, rAmanuja pillAi to srirangam.
