It was not purandara dasa but kanaka dasa who went to Udupi and wasn't allowed into the temple. Legend has it that he sang to Lord Krishna who was pleased with his devotee and turned around and the hole appeared in the wall of the temple. This hole was later grilled and is called "kanakana kindi" and even to this day, devotees can take a look at the lord through this window.
