HH Sri Vanamamalai ThimmaiyengAr (A) ThiruvEnkata rAmAnuja Jeeyer (fifth 
pattam) 

Swamy's Kainkaryams continued

Once swamy visited a place called rAdhApuram (rAjasthAnam) and went to the 
palace of the king. The king welcomed swamy with great pleasure with great 
respect and submitted enormous amount of wealth in the divine feet of swamy. 
Swamy returned back to vanamamalai along with the wealth submitted by the king 
and constructed the kulasekaran thirumandapam (under the name of the king) and 
the dasAvathAra thirumandapam. With the left over money swamy then made 
beautiful ratnAbharams (jewels studded with precious stones) and silk clothes 
to perumal and thayar and also made a beautiful gajendrAzhvan.

Then swamy constructed a beautiful mandapam under the name of periya 
vanamamalai jeeyer swamy, azhagiya varadan thirumandapam and stayed there 
considering it to be the gurukulavAsam and remained with due respect towards 
the acharyas.

Swamy made beautiful arrangements for the aranganagarappan sannadhi and also 
made a beautiful rathAkAra dOlai (swing in the form of a ratham) and for the 
purpose of recitation of prabhandhams constructed a thirumandapam called 
rAmAnujan 

In Alwar thirunagari, swamy constructed a mutt and consecrated vanamamalai 
perumal deivanAyakan and aranganagarappan and also the first four jeeyers of 
vanamamalai mutt starting from periya vanamamalai jeeyer in archa form and 
appointed a Srivaishnava to take care of the daily thiruvArAdhanam (daily 
rituals) and srikaryams(services) in that mutt and arranged for all the rituals 
to be done without any hindrance.

While swamy remained with kainkaryasri in the above manner, a brahmachAri by 
the name rAmAnujan from vinjamoor in the northern direction came and 
surrendered to the divine feet of his holiness Sri thimmiyengAr swamy and 
stayed in thirunagari and learnt prabhandams and sastrAs. After completion of 
sastras and prabhandams he underwent kalashepams under vanamamalai swamy and 
remained as a calm person of high intelligence and a treasure of vairAkhyam.

After 18 years of his tenure as Jeeyer of the vanamamalai mutt Sri thimmiyengAr 
swamy, felt that he has become physically weak and hence considering rAmAnujan 
swamy to be the next eligible jeeyer gave him sanyasa and named him as 
emperumAnAr rAmanuja swamy and submitted all the responsibilities of the temple 
and the mutt to Sri emperumAnAr rAmAnuja Jeeyer swamy.
