SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesikaya nama: Dearest all, Gievn below is "thirutthi paNikoLLal" by another fellow Srivaishnava Smt Sumithra Varadarajan. My sincere aplogies for the errors. Thanks to Smt Sumithra Varadarajan for her post. Regards Namo narayana dAsan Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Dear Sri Madhavakannan swamy, Thanks a lot for these wonderful and enlightening posts filled with acharya bhakthi. Adiyen would like to make a few additions/corrections in the following post. Any mistakes may be kindly pardoned. Vadakku Thiruveedhi PiLLai: Author of the wonderful commentary of Thiruvaaymozhi called eedu vyaakhyaanam, also called as 36000 padi. His sons Swami Pillailokachariar and Sri Azhagiya Manavala Nayanar were great acharyas and lived in Srirangam during the same period of Swamy Desikan in the 12th, 13th century CE. This eedu vyakyanam was not Authored by Swamy vadakku thiruveedhi piLLai but was documented as it was told by Nampillai, word by word. Hence this is famously known as "Nampillai EEdu". Reference: 6000padi Guruparampara prabhavam and UpadEsarathinamAlai of swamy manavAla mAmunikAl "telliyadhA nampillai seppu neri thannai vallal vadakku thiruveedhip pillai endha nAdariya mAran maraiporulai nanguraiththadhu eedu muppaththArAyiram" (upadesa ratina malai 44) Swami Pillai lokacharyar- He was born in 1205 CE (Krodana) at Srirangam in Mudumbai Kulam, Srivatsa Gotram, in the month of Avani and in Rohini Nakshatram His other names were Ulaga Aasiriyar and lOkAchAriAr. In fact, the latter name was conferred on him by his AchAryA NampiLLai.. Though PiLLai lOkAchAryA was about 63 years older to our Swami, he perceived in his young friend ( our Swami) the potential to become a World Savior through his works. He was the foremost AchAryA of Thenkalai branch of Srivaishnavas. Swami Pillailokachariar, - was gifted with a great foresight, he was catholic in nature and was the author of many rahasya granthas like mukumshupadi. He also laid the emphasis on Saranagathi. Swamy Pillai lokacharya was born on Iyppasi sravanam and not Avani Rohini. Pillai lokacharyar was the son and shisya of vadakku thiruveedhi pillai. Vadakkuthiruveedhi pillai named his son after his acharya (nampillai) as lokachariar. Originally the name 'vulagariyar/lokachariar' was presented to nampillai by one Sri KandAdai thOzhappar. (Please refer Arayirappadi guruparampara prabhavam/yatheendra pravana prabhavam) SrI Manavaala maamunigaL: His Sishyas include- ManavALa mA MunigaL known as Periya Jeeyar who was the immediate predecessor of Bhattar PirAn, the Prathama Yathipathi of VanamAmalai Mutt. The prathama yathipathi of Vanamamalai Mutt is "Onnana Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyer" celebrated as "ponnadikkal Jeeyer" by Swamy Manavala mAmunikal himself. Bhattar piran jeeyar is one another acharya among the ashtadiggajas of Swamy Manavala mAmunikal.
