Swamy?s kainkaryams (Contd.)

 

While swamy reached the outskirts of mahisoorapuram, the king welcomed swamy 
along with others holding the respective honours (poornakumbam etc) and then 
made the required arrangements for swamy and his shisyas to stay. Thenthe king 
visited swamy, along with his wife and family and prostrated swamy and waited 
for swamy?s blessings, while swamy blessed him with his Sri pAdha theertham. 
Then the king requested swamy to advice him in the right path so as to overcome 
this ocean of samsAram. Swamy was highly pleased with the king?s request and 
hence he did an elaborate and strong upanyasam based on ethihasa puranas and 
the paasurams of Azhvars on the topic of artha panchakam for 5 to 6 days. 
Listening to swamy?s sweet and outbursting upanyasams the king was elated and 
he then considered his janma to have hadits essence. The king with high esteem 
praised swamy and prostrated to the divine feet of swamy and then turned his 
look towards his wife. His wifeunderstood the thought at
the back of the king?s mind and hence she immediately removed the 
makarakandikai (a type of precious jewel worn in the neck) from her neck and 
gaveit in the hands of the king who added a beautiful pearl chain to the same 
and submitted to be adorned by swamy and further submitted number of precious 
jems, gold and huge wealth.  

 

Swamy accepted the same for the pleasure of the king, blessed them and 
thencalled for the vidwans in the kingdom and honoured them appropriately. Then 
swamy told the king about his return journey while the king came along with 
swamy for a short distance and then prostrated swamy and returned back.

 

Then the king of vanapparuththi samsthAnam who came to know about the greatness 
of swamy wanted to prostrate swamy along with his family and hence metswamy on 
the way and submitted his invitation to swamy. Swamy also accepted his request 
with grace and did samasrayanam to him along with his familyand made him his 
close disciple. He was highly pleased to be blessed withswamy?s grace and hence 
he submitted precious clothes and other jems to the divine feet of swamy along 
with one or two villages.

 

Meanwhile, krishnasreshti and others who were swamy?s disciples in a 
responsible post in bhakyanakaram (hyderabad) coming to know about swamy?s 
visit to vanapparuththi very close to their city wanted to invite and honour 
swamy in their place, placed the same request under the divine feet of swamy. 
Though swamy?s interest was then circling around having the divine darshan of 
Sri varamangai nachiyar back home, still not being able to disappoint his 
disciples, swamy filled with grace visited bhakyanagaram and stayedthere for 
sometime and then rushed back to sirivaramangala nagar.
