Jai Shree Krishna
Mahaprabhu Shree Vallabhacharya, after teaching a lesson to Kapalika, proceeded to...ShreeSaila Tirupathi, Then Vynkatesha, Laxman Balaji, etc. and came to Vishnu Kanchi.
At Vishnu Kanchi is the famous temple of Shree Varadarajeshwara, more commonly known as Varadarajaperumal.
A brief description of the temple is available at...http://www.saranam.com/Pujas/Varadaraja.asp
Well Shree Vallabh was invited to have darshan of the Lord Varadaraja, by the Head Priest.
Mahaprabhuji inspite of being eager to have Darshan of the lord, was hesitant to visit the temple. Why?

Jai Shri Krishna,
Because the steps that went up to the Mandir were inscriped with Sanskrit verses from Jayadeva's Ashtapadi, all in praise of Shri Krishna's lila.
Shri Vallabh's respect for Krishna's name and form was the key point of His teachings.
Then he continued to Padma Tirth what happened there?
Also previous question about Agala hope someone will answer that too.

Jai Shree Krishna
Yes. At the Varadaraja Perumal temple, when Shree Vallabhs hesitation was conveyed to the head Preist, the steps were removed and a temporary arangment was made. Mahaprabhuji then visited the temple, had darshan of Shree Thakorji, and did Shrungaar too. He explained the nature of Brahman to Shree Narasinhacharya and Nilakanthacharya, who were followers of Shree Ramanuja.
Shree Vallabh did Shreemad Bhagwat Parayan here. And his Baithakji is Biraajmaan here.
After this Aapshree proceeded to ShreeRangji.
Here he was confronted by one Raghavacharya, an ardent follower of Dvaita-advaita school. Shree Vallabh expalined the need to take a single stand and here too, convinced Shree Raghavacharya, who in the end merely bowed to aapshree and left.
From here on Shree Vallabh moved on to Madurai, and then proceeded to Rameswaram, Dhanushkodi, Sri Vaikuntha keshetra and finally arrived at Agala, a place associated with Ramanujacharya.
Janaswami, the then religious head of the Ramanuja sect, gave Shree Vallabh a warm welcome. Here Mahaprabhuji addressed the followers of Ramanuja, and made his view very clear on Brahman.
From here on Shree Acharyacharan went to Kanya kumbha, Sudarsara and Padma teertha.
At Padma teertha, the king reguested Shree Vallabh to visit his Palace. The Queen, possessed by evil spirit, was relieved by drinking water mixed with Vraj raj. Shree Vallabh declining the many gifts given by the king, admonished him on his duties and advised him to have faith in Shree Thakorji. For In one has faith in God, then such evil spirits cant do anything to you. Evil spirits have power only on irreligious and evil minded men.
From here Shree Vallabh proceeded to Janardhan kshetra.

Jai Shri Krishna,
At Agala a palce associated with Shri Ramanujacharaya, he was given a warm welcome. He addressed an audience on the nature of Brahmavada the teachings that hold everything as purely Krishna..
Then after Padma Teerth his south India tour continued on to Udupi, the birth place of Shri Madhvacharya and then to Gokarna before he returned to Vijayanagar where he again met his mother and other relatives.
Other palces he visited were Varkala, where Lord Janardhan left his temple to attend to Shri Vallabh's teachings.
Shri Vallabh also visited Shri Rangan, and Mount Malayachal and the ashram of the sage Kaudinya.
