    Thrust by his disciples into the trench of transgression
    Came down a devout seeking deliverance and forgiveness
    Partook he the water consecrated from thy feet like lotus
    Begot he his wish transpiring from the murky gloom of sin - 5

    This verse upholds the greatness of the Sripaada teertham of Our


    Swamy.
    A devout Srivaishnava Acharya by
    name Kandaadai Lakshmanacharya was
    once passing through the Maada veedhi
    of Arangam along with his disciples that
    on looked the residence of Our Swamy.
    Our Thoopul Kula Mani who was deeply
    engrossed in his composition did not take
    notice of this. At this the disciples of
    Lakshmanacharya were totally enraged
    and felt offended. They performed the
    gruesome sin of bhaagavatha apacharam
    and manhandled Our Swamy causing him
    Swami Desikan, Varadar Temple, Kanchi
    physical damage. Our Swamy out of his bhaagavatha sheshatvam came
    down to Lakshmanacharya and apologized for the unintended
    transgression and left Arangam and went to Sathyakalam.
    But, the fruits of the sin of the disciples found their way to the
    teacher. Lakshmanacharya started suffering from some skin disorder

    and was left progeny less. When Lakshmanacharya learnt that his
    disciples had caused physical harm to Our Swamy and so the latter had
    left Arangam, he felt deeply hurt and soon realized the reason for his
    ailment. He immediately along with his wife left for Sathyakalam and fell
    at the feet of Our Swamy. Our Thoopul Swamy out of his parama
    kaarunyam welcomed his guest who stayed with him from that day.
    As an act of remorse for his sin, Lakshmanacharya partook the
    consecrated water from the lotus feet of Our Swamy, everyday. Within
    a year he was fully cured of all his ailments and was blessed with a son.
    Lakshmanacharya named his son as Teertha Pillai for he was one who
    was born with the grace of the Sripaada teertham of Swamy Deshikan.
    Such is the greatness of the
    Sripaada teertham of Our
    Swamy, for it has the capacity to
    deliver one from the clutches of
    nescience and bestow him with
    the bliss of supreme knowledge
    that would make him adopt the
    path of prapatti in due course
    and attain the celestial abode of

    Swamin took it light and felt happy to see Our Swamy, by means of
    slippers of many Srivaishnavas at a time
    in one place. his actions and teachings has
    preached that the most
    gruesome of sins is bhaagavatha apacharam - sin towards the devotee
    of a Lord. It is to be avoided at all costs. Our Swamy in the Purushartha
    Kaashtadhikaram of Srimath Rahasyatrayasaaram says "bhagavat

    devotion towards the Lord is devotion towards his devotees". One
    should be watchful of his actions for the fear of committing bhaagavatha
    apacharam. Bhagavad
    Ramanuja when
    delivering his final
    sermons says that being
    in the servitude of
    bhagavathas is the
    characteristic attribute of
    uttama Srivaishnavas.

    A few depend on their deeds while a few depend on their wisdom, while
    we ever depend on the sandals of the devotees of the Lord of Sri. Such
    should be the devotion towards fellow bhagavathas as shown by Our
    Swamy.
