 Dear Sri Mani and Sri Varadhan,

SrIvEnkatAchalEtihAsamAlA of Sri AnanthALwAn says that Sri Ananthalwan prayed 
to Srinivasa and established Ramanuja Sannidhi and recital of Ramanuja 
Nootthandhaadhi in the temple. Actually that anubhavam is wonderful. Alwan does 
not go to the temple. Lord Venkatesa makes him come and conveys to him "I am 
more worried than you for having lost emberumAnAr." 

Sri Ramanuja felt that a virakta bhAgavata who does not have a family should 
look after the temple affairs and hence appointed a Jeeyar. Sri Manavala 
Mamunigal also comes in the list of Jeeyars of the mutt. His disciple 
Thiruvengada Jeeyar was the Periya Jeeyar according to Thirumalai Ozhugu. 
Chinna Jeeyar is chosen by Pedda Jeeyar and ascends the throne after his 
Acharya attains Paramapadham.
