This eedu vyakyanam was not Authored by Swamy vadakku thiruveedhi piLLai but was documented as it was told by Nampillai, word by word. Hence this is famously known as "Nampillai EEdu".

Swami Pillai lokacharyar- He was born in 1205 CE
(Krodana) at Srirangam in Mudumbai Kulam, Srivatsa
Gotram, in the month of Avani and in Rohini Nakshatram
His other names were Ulaga Aasiriyar and lOkAchAriAr.
In fact, the latter name was conferred on him by his
AchAryA NampiLLai.. Though PiLLai lOkAchAryA was
about 63 years older to our Swami, he perceived in his
young friend ( our Swami) the potential to become a
World Savior through his works. He was the foremost
AchAryA of Thenkalai branch of Srivaishnavas. Swami
Pillailokachariar, - was gifted with a great
foresight, he was catholic in nature and was the
author of many rahasya granthas like mukumshupadi. He
also laid the emphasis on Saranagathi.
Swamy Pillai lokacharya was born on Iyppasi sravanam and not Avani Rohini. Pillai lokacharyar was the son and shisya of vadakku thiruveedhi pillai. Vadakkuthiruveedhi pillai named his son after his acharya (nampillai) as lokachariar. Originally the name 'vulagariyar/lokachariar' was presented to nampillai by one Sri KandAdai thOzhappar.
