King of Mysore performing ArAdhanam
SrI Krishnaraja Kanteerava sArvabhauman was the king of Mysore at that time. He heard about SrImad Azhagiyasingar camping at Thirunarayanapuram. The king sent his ministers and the principals to Thirunarayanapuram to deliver his prayerful request to SrImad Azhagiyasingar to visit Mysore and bless him. The jIyar accepted the king’s invitation. The king met the jIyar with pUrNakumbham at the [[261]] city boundary and welcomed him with great reverence. Malolan shared the Kannan sannidhi in the palace. Golden swing and Silver MaNTapam were presented to Malolan. For daily ArAdhanam, the king presented a Vajra (adamantine) vessel and many AbharaNams. He had Malolan and SrImad Azhagiyasingar at his palace and performed ArAdhanams. He gave as gift many villages. He became the deep bhakta of SrImad Azhagiyasingar.
