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

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.
