Guest guest Posted January 17, 1997 Report Share Posted January 17, 1997 A fellow correspondent has corrected me regarding the author of the Guruparampara Prabhaavam, perhaps the oldest extant traditional biography of the aazhvaars and acharyas we have. I include here his comments: > > Pinpazhagiya PerumaaL Jiyar is the author of the Guruparampara Prabhavam > (6000) and the compiler of Vaarththaamaalai. The internal evidence in both > these books shows that his acharya was Sri. Nampillai. Puttur Swami also > states so in his introduction to the lattter book. > I apologize for the error. NampiLLai was Periya Vaaccaan PiLLai's acharya, as well as the acharya of the author of the eedu vyaakhyaanam on thiruvaaymozhi. The GPP was then written within 3-4 generations of Ramanuja. adiyEn, Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
