ArAyndhu vittEnO thirumazhisaiyAr pOlE Thirumazhisai Azhvar was born to Bhargava maharishi and Kankangia divine samsel in the kshetram of Thirumazhisai. He was abandonedby his mother as soon as we was born and was picked up by a lowcaste person and was brought up as his own son. Due to the graceof Lord Jagannatha of Thirumazhisai and being the son of a greatrishi, he grew up with great knowledge of the sastras. He beganto join and analyze various sampradhayams and eventually settledin Shaivism. At that time, Peyazhvar met him and through debatewon him back into the Srivaishnava sampradhayam. He gained fame as a great devotee of the Lord and after much yatra settled inthe divyadesam of Thirukkudandhai, from where he attained theLord's divine feet. He describes his journey into various religions and eventuallyreaching Srivaishnavam in his own words: sAkkiyam kaRROm samaN kaRROm sankaranArAkkkiya Agama nUl ArAyndhOm - bAkkiyaththAlsengkatkariyAnaich sErndhOm yAm thIdhilamEengkatkariyadhonRil In Nanmugan Thiruvandhadhi, he talks about how he examined various religions and concluded that Sriman Narayana is the supreme Lord. Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I analyze other religions andgave them up as false like Thirumazhisaip Piran did?"
