AththippaTTu azhagiyasingar (Karthikai uththirAdam) 02.12.08

December 1, 2008

SrI:

Dear SrIvasihnavas,

Although 34th pattam SrI SaThakOpa rAmAnuja yatIndramahAdESikan belongs to

mADabhUshi vamSam of injimEDu in pUrvASramam(42nd pattam HH also appeared in the

same vamSam), as he appeared in aththippaTTu grAmam near thiru-evvuLUr in His

mAtAmahar tirumALigai, He has been identified with 'aththipaTTu' prefix rather

than 'injimEDu'.

In pUvASramam and uttarASramam, HH preferred to stay only in Thiru-evvuLUr. He

fondly called SrI veerarAghava perumAL as 'mA-swami' (in SlEshai - to mean 'my

Lord' or 'the Lord taking 'thinai-mAvu', millet flour' offered to this perumAL

by bhaktAs) and SrI mAlOlan as 'mahA-swami'. Similar to the prakriyA formulated

by bhAshyakArar for SriranganAthan, this azhagiyasingar formulated kaTTiyam,

yascarikai, anugraham etc for SrIveeraraghava perumal, which is in vogue in this

divyadesam. He offered many divyAbharaNams, golden palanquin and charriot for

SrI VeerarAghava perumal.

He composed around 16 granthams, of which SrIlakshmInrusimhan aDaikkalappaththu

is in nityAnusandAnam of sannidhi sishyAs. vyAkhyAnams for 'nyAsavimSati' and

'adikaraNasArAvaLi' are among His other works.

Apart from these, HH has edited and published books like Srimath rAmAyaNam,

Srimath rahasyatraya sAram etc.

37th pattam piLLaippAkkam azhagiyasingar (Who composed 'AcAryasaptati' on 34th

pattam HH) and 41st pattam kArukkuRichi azhagiyasingar (Who composed 'mahAswami

gadyam' on 34th pattam HH) took refuge at the divine feet of this

azhagiyasingar.

His taniyan is:
