I am told that one Tenklai devotee by name Prativaadi bhayankaram aNNa composed

Sri Venkatesha-suprabhaatam, stotram, prapatti and mangalam (around 14-15

century CE).

Except though is the first slokam (kausalya suprajaa...aahnikam) , which is from

Srimad valmiki Ramayanam.

dAsan,

Dear all:

This SRIMAD PRATIVADI BHAYANKARAM ANNANGARACHARIAR SWAMI is different from

another namesake who lived until recently in Kanchipuram and whose KaalakshEpams

I had the Bhaghyam of attending as a school boy.

Sri Prathivadhi Bhayangaram Annan is a unique poorvacharya who has

composed Sri Sukthis on Swami Desikan (Sapthadhi Rathna Malika) and

Swami Manavala Mamunigal (Sri Vara Vara Muni suprabhatham etc). Sri

Annan did his Sri Bhashya kalakshepam under Kumara Varadhacharyar (Swami

Desikan's son) and won a debate with an Advaitin (Narasimha Misra) and

established the supremacy of Vishistadwita

Siddhanta got the title 'Prathivadhi Bhayankaram' from his Acharyan

Kumara Varadacharyar. Sri Anna became a disciple of Swamy Manavala

Mamunigal and was one of the Ashta Dighgajas (Eight indomitable

Acharyas) to propagate SriVaishnava philosophy. His thaniyan sloka says

he is the receptor of Sri Desikan's Kataksham and Sri Mamunigal's

Karunai.

VedantaDesika Kataksha Vivruththa Bhodham

Kanthobhayanthrumina: Karunaika pathram

Vathsaanvavaaya manavadhya Gunairubhedham

Bhakthya Bhajami Prathivadhi Bhayangararyam

Also on a sidenote, I don't think we could classify many of our

poorvacharyas as either Thenkalai or Vadakalai. Sri Pillai Lokachariar,

Sri Desikan, Sri Periyavachchan Pillai, Sri Manavala Mamunigal, Sri

Annan and many other Acharyas belong to the entire Sri Vaishanva

community. Without Sri Mamunigal's commentary on Periyazhwar Thirumozhi

how could we ever understand Azhwar's Bhagavadh anubahvams? Another

striking example is Sri Ranga Ramanuja muni, who is a prominent acharya

of Munithrya Sampradhayam. Without Sri Ranga Ramanuja Muni's commentary

on all the major upanishads (Sri Ranga Ramanuja Muni has written

commentaries for all the major Upanishads except Isa and Supalah,

because Sri Sruthaprakasika Bhattar has written a commentary on

Supalopanishadh and Sri Desikan and Sri Kura Narayana Jeer Swami has

written commentaries on Isavashya) based on Vishistadwita philosophy, it

would be highly difficult understand the esoteric meanings of these

upanishads. Even the recent acharyas like Sri Uththamoor Swami and

Kanchipuram PBA swami has done so much to our sampradhayam, they truly

belong to our entire SriVaishanava community. Though these acharyas had

some difference of opinions on certain things, still they did not create

a dharshanam or religion of their own. Every one of them contributed

towards Sri Ramanuja Dharshanam. Let us follow whatever sampradhyam we

belong to, and at the same time respect and appreciate all the works

done by our poorvacharyas.

Dear Swamin,

Thanks for information on PB Anna.

>>same time respect and appreciate all the works

done by our poorvacharyas.<<

No question about this.

I don't think there is any disrespect implied in identifying one as

belonging to Tenkalai or Vadakalai.
