Jagadacharya Ramanuja created the 74 simhasanadhipathisto spread the glorious Srivaishnava sampradhayam. One of these was Mudumbai Nambigal. In his lineage was born the incomparable Sri Krishnar. He lived in the Uththara veedhiof Srirangam and hence was called Vadakkuth ThiruveedhipPillai.He was the disciple of Nampillai. During the day he wouldhear Nampillai's kalakshepam on Bhagavad Vishayam - thecommentary on Azhvar's Thiruvaymozhi, and in the nighthe would write them down to the word. This became thegrand 36000padi Idu vyakhyanam - the magnum opuscommentary for Thiruvaymozhi.Here Swami Desikan is saluting this great acharya forproviding us the Sri Suktis of Swami Nampillai inwritten form so they continue to last for a long time.
