Dear Sri Cadambi: Sri KuranArAyanar is a Vadakalai AchAryan who lived around 1459 CE. His commentaries on MaaNDUkya Upanishad , TaittirIya Upanishad and IsAvAsyOpanishad are classical commentaries. The other work he is known for is SudarsanAshtakam . The Founding Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam (b1379 CE) reached MalOlan's Thiruvadi in 1458 CE. KuranArAyaNan's time is therefore after AdhivaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar . The second Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam , HH Sri NaarAyaNa YathIndhra MahA Desikan ( aasthAna Kaalam : 1473-85) might have influenced the studies of KuranArAyabNar. The second Jeeyar has also written a commentary for IsAvAsyOpanishad following the lines of Swamy Desikan (1268-1369 CE). Swamy Desikan coverd in His commentary on IsAvAsyOpanishad the doctrines of Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArthams, Prapathti , the unity of UpAya and upEya as well as the esoteric meanings of the MahA Vaakyam , "Tatthvamasi". later commentators from the second Jeeyar of Ahobila Mutt, KuranArAyaNar , Upanishad BhAshyakArar, Sri RanganAtha Muni (Disciple of Taatha Desikan) based their commentaries on Swamy Desikan's commentary.
