Moved by the deep anguish of a sincere devotee the good Lord promised him Moksha in a few days. This is what we learn from two of his compositions Giripai in Sahana raga and Paritapamu in Manohari raga, In accorance with the promise the Lord took the Great saint on Pushya Bahula Panchami in Prabhava .(6th January 1847 when he was 88 years of age, Sometime before he attained the Brahmi bhava oneness with the Lord Tyagaraja had taken to orange robes and became a sannyasi.
Mythologist say that the Lord had pointed out the salvation for him was only in another birth but the resourceful Saint Tyagaraja short circuited this by taking to Apat sannyasa which was technically equal to a second cycle of life.
