Bikshalaya
When Rayaru thought of Mantralaya Prahladarajaru's Yaaga Sthala and reside permanently, Came from Kumbhakonam the Sacred bank of Kaveri to Adoni, The Nawab of Adoni and Diwan Venkanna welcomed Sri Raghavendrateertharu in a highly dignified way, completely Blessed by Rayaru. Rayaru asked Mantralaya for himself and told the same to Diwan Venkanna to get it from Nawab. The Nawab said why are you asking Mantralaya, ask some other place which are rich in fertile. Rayaru said, I WANT ONLY MANTRALAYA. Thus the Nawab all the surrounding villages land and Complete Mantralaya donated to Rayaru and acquired the Paramanugraha of Gururayaru. While coming to Mantralaya from enrooting Tungabhadra Station, now Mantralayam Road, happened to visit Bhikshaalaya Bichchali. Aparokshagnyani Gururaya knew the Sanctityof JAPADAKATTE, Completely understood the greatness of Appanacharya. Appanacharya's pleasing Personality, Devotion, Kindness, Magnanimity, the thirst for knowledge, Ashukavitva, Pratibha, Scholarly disposition and above all the obedience of Appanacharya attracted Sri Raghavendrateertharu. AT THE SAME TIME IT IS QUITE INTERESTING TO KNOW THAT HE WAS A TRUE GNYANI . Their friendship grew, they became close, very close, one cannot separate from others. So stayed in Bichchali for a long time. Appanacharya performed the Seva of Rayaru with great
Affection. Appanacharya was himself grinding the Dal Chatni for Rayaru, that Varalu and Rubbu gundu are still in Bichchale and we can see them. Appi Paayasa and Dal Chatni were very dear to Rayaru. Lived in the house of Appanacharya. At the time of Rayaru that house was already sixty years old. Rayaru liked Bichchali the house of Appanacharya very much.Always lived together. Rayaru will sit on the Japadakatti and Appanacharya will simply squat with Devotion at the feet of Rayaru. Appanacharya used to massage the Sacred legs of Rayaru. How great and Fortunate was our Appanacharya. Mantralaya Rayaru donated twelve acres of land to Appanacharya situated in KallKuntla twelve miles from Mantralaya. As already Sufficient lands are there by your Grace, I DO NOT WANT THIS Appanacharya Said.But Rayaru forced Appanacharya to accept this land as a token of Anugraha. So Appanarya accepted and honored the words of Guru Rayaru.
