Dear SrIvaishnavas

Similar to our KooTasthar SaTakOpar, this azhagiyasingar appeared at the bank of

river tamrabarNi on a visAka dinam (in mArgazhi), in karukuRicchi agraharam.

 

Mannargudi azhagiyasingar (39th pattam) selected this capable scholar, SrI.

u.vE.vEnkaTakrishNamAcharyar (ayyamAcharyar) of karukuRicchi to succeed Him and

gave him the tirunAmam 'SriranganAtha SatakOpa yatIndra mahadesikan'. Both were

doing tiruvAradanam together for couple of years.

 

After periya ahzgiyasingar left for paramapadam, this azhagiyasingar set out for

southern divyadesa sancharam and later reached Hyderabad.

 

Before His time, it was very difficult for sEvArthis to get darsanam of

navanarasimhars at ahobilam. KarukuRicchi ahzgiyasingar, with His tapObalam

drove away the bad inhabitants like brahmarakshas etc and made the divyadesam

easily accessible (senRu kANDaRku eLiya kOil).

 

He constructed many buildings and offered many silver & gold vessels for ahobila

maTham. SrImaTham's wealth multiplied during His time.

 

SrIbhAshyArtha maNipravALa deepikA, SrIsatsampradAya prakASikA,

SrIbhAshyadhooshaNaparihAram are some of His works.

 

'SriranganAtha SaThakOpapuram' agraharam was established by Him.

 

There are many granthams such as 'yatIndra guNa darpaNam', a Satakam on Him,

paramAchArya navakam, His vaibhavam etc, tell a lot on the kalyana guNAs of

karukuRicchi jeeyar.

 

Sishyas fondly gave him the title of 'SrilakshmInrusimha divyapAdukA sEvaka:'

 

After mElnATTu sancharam and koodalazhagar mangaLASAsanam, azhagiyasingar

reached 'tuvarimAn' agraharam near madurai and asked sishyas to invite another

karukuRicchi vidwan SrI u.vE Gopala Ramabhadrachar to succed Him. His

bRundAvanam is in tuvariman agraharam.

 

Please take a look at SrI MVA swamin's breif on tuvarimAn temple (thanks, SrI

Ramaswamy of california)
