On 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 theoutskirts 
of villiputtur. At that time, nAchiyAr pleased with the arrivalof Jeeyer swamy 
sent her ?uduththukalaindha peedhaga vAdai? (the divine dress adorned by her 
earlier), vanamAlai (her garland from her chest) andabhaya-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. Onthe way, swamy was greeted by 
the kainkaryaparas from azhagar sannadhi andswamy 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? (onewho 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).
