9. Saseetaa moola raamarcha –   As a mark of respect to the great sage who ruled the country for 12 years, the king wanted to give some gift to Sri Narahari Tirtharu. Narahari Tirtharu asked for the Deity of Moola Ramachandra devaru that had been kept by the descendants of the Gajapati Kings and Who was originally worshiped by Iksvaaku Mahaaraja, then given to Dasaratha Maharaja, the father of Lord Rama. This Deity of Rama was then passed on to Lakshmana and from him to Hanuman, who used to hang it around his neck. Hanuman gave that idol to Bhimasena devaru during Dwaapara yuga , and Bhima gave Him to the Gajapati King .     The king happily handed over the idol to Narahari Tirtharu with devotion.  Sri Narahari Tirtharu did the samarpana of the idol to the entire Madhwa parampare and is being worshipped as per Madhwa sampradaya since seven hundred years.
