the way to Srirangam, swamy remembered the verse of alwar, “villiputtur
vuraivAn than ponnadi kAnbhadhOr AsaiyinAl” (Due to the wish of having darshan
of the divine feet of emperumAn in srivilliputtur) and with the same wish
proceeded to srivilliputtur and halted in the kannan sannadhi at the outskirts
of villiputtur. At that time,
nAchiyAr pleased with the arrival of Jeeyer swamy sent her “uduththukalaindha
peedhaga vAdai” (the divine dress adorned by her earlier), vanamAlai (her
garland from her chest) and abhaya-hastham (the impression of her divine hand in
abhaya mudra) in a golden plate, along with many adiyars and srivaishnavas.
All the Srivaishanavas came to welcome swamy accompanied with the sound
of divine instruments and words of praise for ponnadikkAl Jeeyer swamy. They
came to swamy submitted all the honors viz, thiruparivattam, thirumAlai,
abhayahastham etc in the appropriate order.
Swamy accepted them with due regards and then along with the parivAram of
Andal (the srivaishnavas representing Andal) and his own shisyas went into the
town towards Andal sannadhi. Swamy
prostrated before the dvajasthambham when nAchiyAr sent her Srisadagopan,
indicating her personal welcome to swamy. Accepting
the same with due regards swamy proceeded inside with great amount of joy and
gratefulness to nAchiyAr’s sannadhi. Swamy
did mangalAsAsanam to andal starting with “neelAtungastanagiri” and enjoyed
the darshan of andal along with rangamannar.
Then after accepting all the prasAdams of andal given to swamy by the
archakar, swamy then proceeded to have darshan of vadaperunkOIl udaiyAn and
periyAzhvAr. After that swamy
started from srivilluputtur and proceeded towards thirumAlirunchOlai.
Swamy bathed in the noopura ganga, finished the appropriate anushtanams
and proceeded further to do mangalAsAsanam to mAlirunchOlai sundarar.
On the way, swamy was greeted by the kainkaryaparas from azhagar sannadhi
and swamy was taken with appropriate honors to the perumal sannadhi. As
swamy reached the gopura vAsal (temple entrance), perumal happy to welcome
Jeeyer sent his Srisadagopan in thirukkaiththalam (in the hands of the archakar).
Swamy accepted the same with due respects and proceeded towards the
sannadhi. Swamy did mangalAsAsanam to ‘mAlirunchOlai nindrAn’ (one
who stood in malirunchOlai) as per our alwars paasurams. Pleased with Jeeyer, perumal with all his grace on swamy
said, “Oh! Jeeyer you are an avatar as par with Periya Jeeyer and hence seeing
you is like seeing Periya Jeeyer himself” and then blessed swamy with his
parivattam, thirumAlai and other honors. Grateful
with the krupai showered by perumal on him swamy stayed in thirumAlirunchOlai
for three more days and then further proceeded his journey.
Travelling for few more days, swamy finally reached ‘ponnisoozh’
thiruvarangam (srirangam surrounded by ponni river). (To
