Dear All :
 
Quite often questions come up about AzhwAr's
times based on Guru Parampara and modern day
research . Here are soem inputs . Please feel
free to comment . I have also added the dates of
our AchAryans starting from Swamy Naathamuni to
Swamy Desikana nd MaNavALa MaamunihaL for
easy referecne .   
 
1. Pinbhazhagiya Jeeyar 's Guru Parampara
( First chronicle on AzhwAr's dhivya charitams)
 belongs to the time of 11th to 12th century .
He was a sishyar of NampiLLai.
He was also a contemproary of PeriyavAcchAn
PiLLai and Vadakku Thiruveethi PiLLai .
 
2. Azhwar's times will vary for SampradhAyic to
modern Historical views . The 500 years ranging 
from 5th to 10th century A,D is the view of 
modern day scholars . Sampradhayic view 
places them from 4202 B.C ( Mudhal Azhwars 
to Thirumazhisai ) , Madhura Kavi ( 3224 B.C) ,
NammAzhwAr ( 3102 B.C) ,
Kulasekharar ( 3075 B.C) , PeriyAzhwAr ( 3056 B.C) ,
Andal ( 3005 B.C) , Thondaradippodi ( 2814 B.C) ,
ThiruppANar ( 2760 B.C) and Thirumangai ( 2714 B.C). 
 
I am more comfortable with the 5th to 10th century 
A.D dates based on the clues in PeriyAzhwAr and
Thirumangai Paasurams and stone inscriptions
in the Temples about rulers  of Tamil Naadu .
