Sri Parthasarathi thunai
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha
Sri Vara Vara MunayE Namaha
Sri VanAchala mahA munayE Namaha

SrisailEsa dayA pAthram deebhakthyAdhi gunArnavam
Yateendra pravanam vandhE ramya jAmataram munim

RamyajAmAtru yOgeendra pAdha rEkhA mayam sadhA
ThathAyath thAthma sadhdhAthim rAmAnuja munim bhajE

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 gettingthe permission of perumal he 
proceeded with his jnana puthran, rAmanuja pillAi to srirangam.
