HH Sri Vanamamalai Periya Pattarbiran jeeyer 1843-1853 (nineteenth pattam)

 

Swamy?s kainkaryams (Contd.)

 

On the way to Sirivaramangalanagar, swamy had the darshan of the kalamegam on 
top of the vadamAmalai and then the darshan of swamy emberumanar, the punyan 
who took birth in Sriperumbudur. Then swamy visited all the divya desas in 
chola nadu including the headquarters of Srivaishnavas Srirangam and had 
darshan of arangaththu mAmani and then further proceeded to fulfill thedeep 
expectations of the disciples in Sirivaramangalnagar, like the peoplein draught 
hit area waiting for the clouds to pour down as rain and reached Vanamamalai.

 

There swamy submitted all the jems and wealth submitted by the ardent disciples 
all through his journey to the divine feet of the perumal and thayar and did 
mangalasasanams with great pleasure to the divine couples and then stayed doing 
ubhayavedantha kalasepams along with sathvika srivaishnavas forsome days. Then 
krishnasreshti visited swamy from bhakyapuram along with his family and got 
swamy?s blessings and submitted lot of wealth and jemsto the divine feet of 
swamy and returned back to his place.

 

Further, pattarpiran swamy wished to do vadadesa yathra once again before he 
left for the divine abode of emperuman (thirunadu). At that time the king of 
vanapparuththi send a message to swamy stating that, for the welfare of the 
country and for his own athmic upliftment he has built a new temple for 
ranganatha and that he wants to consecrate the perumal in reclining posture 
over there and hence requests swamy to do the pradhistai in the appropriate 
manner and grace the occasion and that he will bare all the cost for swamy?s 
journey from Vanamamalai back and forth. Swamy was highly pleasedas his wish 
and the request matched each other and hence ordered his disciples to make the 
necessary arrangements for the journey.

 

Swamy along with number of srivaishnavas, first reached azhvar thirunagari and 
had the darshan of azhvar and the nava thirupathi emperumans and then reached 
srivilliputtur and had the divine darshan of andal and rangamannar then 
proceeded to maliruncholi to do mangalasasanams to sundararajan then proceeded 
to srirangam. Then on the way swamy had the darshan of the other divya desams 
and proceeded to maduramangalam, had the darshan of embar and then emperumanar 
in sriperumbudur. Further swamy had the darshan of thirupathi venkatachalapathi 
and then reached vanaparuththi. There swamy visited the newly constructed 
temple and named the area as ?Srirangapuram? and in a grand manner celebrated 
the pradhistai and made arrangements for the nithyOtsavam (daily festival) and 
mAsOtsavam (monthly festival) in the temple. Swamy stayed there for some more 
days and then visited bhakyapuram as per the request of the disciples over 
there.

 

While swamy stayed in seetharamapuram making discourses for the benefit of the 
disciples over there swamy fell ill and his health started to deteriorate. At 
that time, swamy started to think about the next successor to the peedam. 
Swamy?s grace fell on Sri kaliyan ramanuja swamy who was a greatsatvika filled 
with divine qualities, vairakyam and knowledge, who had already accepted the 
sanyasa ashrama and who was along with swamy on the journey. Swamy called for 
Sri Kaliyan swamy and appointed him to succeed him asthe next Vanamamalai 
jeeyer. In this way HH Sri Pattarbiran swamy stayed in the peedam for 10 years 
and did great kainkaryams that cannot be pre-conceived by our small minds. 
Swamy then decided to leave for nithya kainkaryam and hence left to the divine 
abode of emperuman from seetharamapuram itself.

 

All the Srivaishnavas over there were struck by huge grief to have got 
separated from swamy. Slowly they consoled themselves and then tried to console 
Sri Kaliyan swamy who was dissolved in deep sorrow due to the separation from 
his acharya. Sri Kaliyan swamy then did the appropriate charama kainkaryams 
(last rites) to his acharya in the appropriate manner and grandly celebrated 
the thiruadhyayanam. After completing the rites Sri Kaliyan swamyreturned back 
to Vanamamalai.
