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.

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.

'Gaganagiri muni guruparampara prabhavam')
