Sri Narasmihan: I believe you are thinking about SrI kAncIpuram p.b. aNNangarAcAryar svAmi of recent memory, who passed away to paramapadam in the early 1980s. The author of the suprabhAtam was the ancestor of this svAmi, and was the first to bear the title "prativAdi bhayankaram". Sri T.S. Sundararajan of Srirangam, an erstwhile member of this forum, had written last year about this noble lineage. Here is an excerpt of his note [http://thondar.busi.utc.edu/bhakti/archives/jul97/0059.html] > > On July 15 occurs the mithuna Sukla-EkAdasI which is the > tiru-adhyayana-tithi of SrI kAnchi prativAdi-bhayankaram > aNNangarAchArya svAmi (1891-1983) of blessed memory.

Since the kUTasthar (originator) of prativAdi bhankaram line, SrI hastigiri aNNan, was a contemporary of both SrI maNavALa mAmunigaL and SrI nAyanAcArya. This places the author of the suprabhAtam in the 15th century.
