Pranams,

 

“VaramangA mahAdEvi gaganAchala yOginaha:

parAnu bhava bhOdhAya suprabhAdham thanOthviha”

 

As per the thiruvullam(desire) of Periya perumal, Lord

RanganAtha thiruanandAzhvan took one more avatAram as

Azhagiya manavAla perumal nAyanar to complete the jobs

left over in his previous avatAram as Sri Ramanuja.

As NayanAr grew up as sakala sAstra vithpannar, to

help him out in his venture to uplift the jeevatmas,

emperuman desired to bless him with a sath shisya.

Once again thiruanandAzhvAn himself took another

avatAram as a shisya to help the acharya.

 

The shisya was born in one of the sacrad places where

number of great scholars lived as per alwar’s

paasurams, “thEru jnAnaththavar vEda vElviyarAch

sirivara mangala nagar” and “SenthozhilAlar vEda

vElviyarA sirivara mangala nagar” and added a lot of

credit to the divine kshEtram. In such a divine

place, in a very orthodox SriVaishnava family, whose

ancestors where under the service of emperuman

generation after generations (“EzhAtkAlum puram

thozhAdhu kudi kudi vandhu At seibhavargal”), lived a

great scholar, Sri RangAchariyAr, Who was respected by

all for his jnAnam and who was a shisya of

ThiruvAimozhi pillai. Sri RangAchariyar was blessed

with poorna lakshmi katAksham and Jnana, bhakthi and

vairAkhyam.

 

To this great scholar a son was born in Rakthashi

samvatsara, kanyA mAsam, punarvasu nakshatram, as a

amsa and shisya of Azhagiya manavAla perumAl nAyanAr.

This avatara was like nara avatAra as a shisya to

nArAyana avatara (both were bhagavat avatarams);

madhurakavigal avatAram to NammAzhvar (both were

alwars); MudaliyAndAn avatara as a amsa of bhagavat

ramanuja (acharya avatars); this avatar as a amsa of

Azhagiya manavAla perumal nAyanAr. Among the three

sons of RangAchariyar he was the second son. Pleased

with the beauty of the child’s thirumEni (body), the

child was named Azhagiya varadar. Scholars predicted

the child to be an amsAvatAram, a great jnAni and a

ardent disciple. Sri RangAchariyar, himself realized

his second son to be a special child and hence

regarded him very dear to him. He did all the

ceremonies that had to be done to his sons in

appropriate times. The sons were taught veda and

Vedanta in the appropriate ages.

 

Azhagiya varadar, was very intelligent and grasped any

lesson the very first time and learnt everything in a

very short period of time. Deciding to do

panchasamskAram to his son under his acharya, Sri

RangAchariyar proceeded towards Alwar thirunagari

along with his sons.
