HH Sri Vanamamalai thiruvEnkata rAmAnuja Jeeyer 1801-1813 (Seventeenth pattam)

Swamy?s kainkaryams (contd?)

Then in vanamAmalai swamy made beautiful golden palanquins for Srivaramangai 
nAchiyAr, Azhvar and Andal each separately. Swamy also offered 100 vessels of 
prasadam (nooru thadA niraiNdha akkAra vadisil) to the divine couples. Swamy 
then submitted a beautiful horse (nampiran) for deivanAyakan, madeof gold 
studded with gems and pearls. Then, once again swamy started his journey to 
koil (Srirangam). In Srirangam, swamy renovated the mutt, which was in a very 
bad shape and beautifully reconstructed it.

Inside the Periya perumal sannadhi swamy made golden kavacham to the 
thirumanathoon (the two pillars right in front of perumal in the garbhagruham). 
Swamy beautified the sannadhi entrance with gold plated door and to add to all 
submitted special food offerings to namperumal.

Then swamy returned to Vanamamalai and made a beautifully decorated golden 
hamsa vAhanam to Srivaramangai nAchiyar.

On the seventh day of the vaikasi brahmotsavan in azhvar thirunagari swamy 
submitted a golden ?thirumanjana vEdhigai? (the seat on which divine bath for 
the lord is done). In this way swamy remained in kainkaryam of the divine 
couples along with number of shisyas doing sath grantha kalashepams and spent 
his time as per the advices and practices of the poorvacharyas. Meanwhile swamy 
fell sick and wanted to select an apt person to succeed himto take care of the 
deivanAyakan sannadhi srikaryam and the kainkaryams inthe mutt. After a little 
thinking swamy selected one of his shisyas, Sri satakOpa rAmAnuja jeeyer to be 
suitable to become the next peedAdhipathi. Swamy graced satakOpa jeeyer and 
ordered him to submit a well-decorated golden hamsa vAhanam to Andal in 
srivilliputtur.

Then swamy seated himself on a beautiful palanquin made of ivory and decorated 
with gold and then gave it as prasadam to satakOpa Jeeyer. And then swamy 
constructed a mandapam in the mutt on the other side of the well, called 
Azhagiya manavalan thirumandapam and consecrated azhagiya manavalan inside. 
Swamy daily worshipped this lord and doing vedhantha dvaya kalashepams remained 
successfully in the samsthAnam for 12 years.
