5th pattam sarwatantra swatantra SrISaThakOpa yatIndra mahAdESikan (Karthikai-kruthikai)

SrI:

Dear SrIvaishnavas,

After a long sancharam to northern parts of bhAratam, 4th pattam azhagiyasingar

came to singarkOil agraharam (a place mentioned in some purANams). While

thinking on a suitable successor, He went for yOganidrA. mAlOlan appeared in

swapnam and told azhagiyasingar that the successor was on the way. Similarly,

SrIlakshmInrusimhan appeared in the swapnam of one swami of KandalUr and

instructed him to go to Srisannidhi. Azhagiyasingar was very happy to see the

swami the next day and immediately gave him prEShamantram and sanyasam.

That swami was known as 'sarwatantra swatantrar' as all SAstrAs obeyed his

orders! (iTTa vazhakkAi ..). 5th pattam sarwatantra swatantra SrISaThakOpa

yatIndra mahAdESikan appeared in thirumangai mannan's thirunakshatram in

AtrEyagOtram.

Accepting Asthanam, HH proceeded for northern parts. After 6 years of Asthana

nirvAham, He left for paramapadam on the bank of Krishna river. He is hailed as

'paravAdi gajAnkuSam'. (Goad of the 'vAdi' elephants)

Until this azhagiyasingar's time (CE 1499) there seemed to be no kalAbhEdam

between Srivaishnavas. All were 'vidwath-paksha-pAdis' ('scholars-oriented' and

not 'kalai-oriented') until His time.

His taniyan:
