A an P met.
Purandara dasa who had become a pious medicant travelled all over south India singing the praise of the Lord in all the religious spots. While at Hampi he heard a group of people singing a beautiful composition he enquired who had composed the song, on being mentioned Parama Sree Vaishnava Sri Tallaapaka Annamacharya had rendered this song to Vittalla when he visited this temple and so we sing it now. Purandara dasa had already heard of this great devotee he was even more anxious to meet him so he hastened to meet the Nandavarika saint at Tirumala immediately. He visited the temple and seeing the Lord he sang the Lords praise in many a song. Contended he then proceeded to Talapakka, even as he approached the town he heard the rendering of a melodious song from the Chinnakesava temple. He heard all of the nectar flowing out of the great saints tongue and seeing the divine form of the saint decked with the 12 Urdhva Pundra shankha chakra mudras and the nalinaksha mala he fell at the great Annammaya's feet saying Purandara is your disciple. Annamayya too had heard of Purandara dasa and was so pleased to see him in person he hugged him with all the warmth. Both welcomed the other and happily spent time adoring their Lord spoke about his deeds and sang many a song. Even thinking of it now gives so much joy one can imagine what they must have felt.
