Please refer to page 180 of the LIFCO publication (1968)
of the Grantham titled, "MuvAyirappadi Guru Parampara
PrabAvam" written by Srimad Thrutheeya Brahmatantra
Svatantra Swami, the third Jeeyar of Sri Parakala Matam.
Here is the relevant sentence,

"... piLLai lOkAchAryArum sri bAshyaththai athikariththu
rahasyArththangaLaiyum pala kAlam kEttu andha prabAvatthai,

"sIronru thUppil ......
...
...
.........pOmaLavum vAzhvu."

enRu aruLichcheydhAr."

Please note that this text was written about the time 
of Sri Manavala Mamunigal.

Couple of questions come to mind.

[1] Is there an authentic refutation of the above
reference in any Thenkalai text by either a contemporary
of the Third Jeeyar of Sri Parakala Matam, or someone
close to that time frame? Please note, I am not implying
that Thenkalais must accept the given reference as 
authentic if such a formal refutation was not made;
just that it would be interesting to know whether this 
was actually refuted formally in written form by anyone.

[2] With respect to Swami Sri Desikan being the author 
for Lokacharya Pancasat, what is the source reference 
Sri B.S.S. Iyengar quotes in support of his claim?
Is that widely accepted as authentic by Thenkalais 
in the same way Vadakalais accept the mUvAyirappadi
text as authentic source for the authorship of 
Sri Pillai Lokacharyar for the "sIronRu thUppil.. "
thaniyan.

I appreciate Sri TCA Venkatesan's caveat about not
intending any controversy. The same goes for my
post as well. Let us keep this academic and not
get emotional.
