Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 dear bhaktas sri ramajayam, "tasmimstajjanY bhYdAbhAvAt" i have gone through some of our past bhakti-list archives of sriman k.srinivasan, sadagopan and sriman krishna tatachari with regard to SaTamarShaNa gotra lineage, right from sri nathamuni onwards, and ankiras,purugutsaar and trasadasyu, the three Rushi pravara of the gotra. it was mentioned in the arichives that SaTamarShaNar was the son of ankiras. on the otherhand according to late c. rajagopalachar's book on mahabharata, the sage angiras was the father of brihaspati, the guiding spirit of devatas and preeminent in the knowledge of the vedas and grand father of kacha. so whether the sage ankiras was the same angiras(spelling mistake?) of mahabharata and ShaTamarshanar born is a question that needs to be addressed. Sriman kotikanyadhan sri krishna tatachariar kindly gave us a true version about SaTamarShaNar and extracted out the summary of his family line. Where can I get a Copy of his father's book on "shatamarshana anjana sidda mahime" and the monograph of "shatamarshana gotra prabhavam" of sriman p.a. ranganatha tatachari to go into further details. i have a manuscript of the srimat tirumala family tree(tengalai converted family lines migrated to andhra) rewritten on a paper in the year 1946 from talapatra grandha of one of his ancestors and from sri desikar's book on 'Rahasya trayaNam..' etc. it was stated in the manuscript that sri SaTamarSaNar was originally rajarshi(kSHetriya) who later become brahmarshi on rigorious tapasya(penance). the ancestors of SaTamarSaNar were all vaishanava bhaktars. till sri nathamunulu time they were following Rushi ashrama sampradayam and from then onwards they followed and preached visTadwaitam. The manuscript further states that the SaTamarShaNa gotra familes in other castes might be possible but remote. the information given in 'narasimha puranam' written by a famous niyogi kavi by name paidipatu venketa narasimha kavi was that he was residing in garikipadu village in nellore dt., and his gotram was SaTamarshanmam. the Second instance was, there used to be mahabhasyam bhattarkar, the teacher and guru for the sons of sri AlWandar. one of his offspring migrated during cheduva and early nizam times to andhra with initial as 'kanchi bhattar'. They were srivaishnavites with SaTamarSaNa gotram. I have heard that the nathella families of niyOgi brahmins are saTamarSaNars. at present there are instances to show that some vaishnava bhakatas in other castes too have their gotra as SaTamarShaNa by means of samasriyanam and updesam by the acharya purushals of this gotra. now coming to the earlier lineage of tatachari families, we know that the nepew conjeevaram tatachari (also known as panchamata bhanjanam tatachari) of ShsTaparAnkusa swamy of ahobila peetam, was invited by him. but we donot know about their tanians clearly except that of srikrishna tatachari's lineage. details are yet to be known with regard to the various family lines and links of siriya tirumala nambi for those settled in addanki and tirupati and of kurusheshulu tatachari tanians and their family lines other than kotikanyadan tatachari, like bukkaptnam tirumala, tirumala kumara?, bellari(raghavachari), tanjavoor, gadval, and other family lines belonging to swayamacharyas (tholappa acharis). we are yet to know the lineage of gandikota tirumala vaishanavites like kuntimadhi, peddinti etc of SaTamarSaNa tirumala families. i would appreciate if any one can explain this famous SaTamarSaNa family heritage and their tanians of earlier period.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Shree Jairam, Thanks for providing interesting information about ShaTamaharshhaNa gotra. I know you mentioned our family in the list. Actually Puttaparthi Trimala, Nagasamudram Tirumala, Bukkapatnam Tirumala, Kuntimadhi Tirumala, ballari Tirumala- Most of them are cousins and as I know are from VaDahalai sampradaayam. 'Saraswati Putra', Puttaparti Narayana Char, the famous Telugu poet is from this puTTaparthi Tirumala family. Ballari Raghavachar hails from the same linage. Most of them dropped the tirumala once they settled in different parts of Anantapur District. Lineage to Tirumala Nambi is one connection. It is also mentioned that Tirumala toTachaarya, the guru of ShreeKrishnadevaraya is from the same lineage. Most of them belong to parakaala Mutt. My father had collected information upto my 9th great great great grand father. In fact, he inserted this family tree in his poetry at the end of the text 'Indiraa vanadanam' - sloka-s on Mahalakshmi. In fact he passed on to us to publish yet unpublished work of this great grand father on 'Shree stuti'. It is a great classic literary work of 130 slokas in talapatra-s that my father discovered in an attic of Nagasamudram Tirumalai family. The sloka-s are full with alakarara-s . My father had revised it filling in several missing words and lines due to damage of the talapatra-s by insects and writing a brief commentary on it. We are yet to publish that. This Great grand father was settled in Tirumalai and called himself - vr^ishagiri Narasimhachar - vR^ishagiri standing for Tirumala hills. It is a news to me that there are tengalai families in the ShaTamaharshhaNa gootra. Hari Om! Sadananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarvi Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Dear Brothers, I am also from Shatamarshana Lineage and my Grand father used the title Kotikanyadhan Thathachar. My father did not use this title. Since I am keen to develop my knowledge on my lineage, I am eager to read all the materials available on this subject. I shall be much obliged if any of you can send me the books, such as: "shatamarshana anjana sidda mahime" and the monograph of "shatamarshana gotra prabhavam" of sriman p.a. ranganatha tatachari and such other books available on this subject. I look forward to the response from all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramanujabhattar Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I am ramanujabhattar with surname as korkondabhattar. i belong to bhattar's of satamarshana gothram and i have the taniyans written down by my grandfather late Sriman Alaha Singaracharyulu of GOSAVEEDU in Khammam Dist. A.P These were written by him in Telugu and copied down many times. I have the paper written by him where the writing abruptly stopped . However these taniyans reveal quite a many facts. I request fellow bhattar's as well as people interested in Satamarshana gothra lineage, to read these carefully. Significance can be noted in Bhattar's at S.No.1 Mahabashya Bhattar, No.3- Siruppulli Devaraja Bhattar and at S,NO 12 and 13 where gradsons from KURESA LINEAGE have been adopted and these two taniyans reveal that these are people who were in KORKONDA (20 kms from Rajamundry) at that time and probably the people who were responsible for the construction of the Lord Narasimha swamy temple.
