Revered ponn-aDik-kAl-jeeyar - Where to get the original Copy?

[Guest guest]

sau-bhAgyavati Sumitra Varadarajan,

 

Pl accept my congratulations and gratitude for drawing attention to the

Sanskrit biography of the revered ponn-aDik-kAl-jeeyar, entitled

'gagana-giri-muni-charitram' written by sundarArya (alias AttAn), great

grandson of rAmAnuja-p-piLLAn.

 

I request of you to inform me ~~

 

(i) if I can secure a copy of this Sanskrit work; what are the

particulars of its last edition, year of printing, name and place of

printing press AND of publisher etc.

 

(ii) If the author was also known as AttAn, what was his gOtram ? Is he

possibly the eponymic ancestor ('kUTastha') of the well-known AttAn-s of

AzhvAr tiru-nagari who are of Sri-vatsa-gOtram ? There is also a

Srirangam branch of AttAn-s which I know of.

 

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,

T.S. Sundara Rajan

at Srirangam.

The Attan's were primary shisyas of Sri Vanamamalai OnnAna ponnadikAl jeeyer

swamigal. Whichever branches of Attan's we find in azhvar thirunagari or

Srirangam all belong to the same vamsam of Attan's only. As the days passed

many branches have developed.
