Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dear bhAgavatas, Recently, the idea that the first Jeeyar of Ahobila Mutt, Sri AdhivaN Satakopa Jeeyar, was the one who initiated Sri Manavala MamunikaL into sanyAsAshramam, was mentioned in a sister Srivaishnava group. As this position is not not accepted by all scholars or sampradhayins, adiyEn had sent a response to that group. I am forwarding the same note, as one of general interest, to this group as well. Yatindra Pravana Prabhavam which gives us the vaibhavam of MamunikaL states the following "... appOthE thamakku sabrahmachAriyAna satakOpa jIyar sannidhiyilE ezhuntharuLi ..." It is to be noted here that it is not stated that MamunikaL took sanyAsAshramam from AdhivaN Satakopa Jeeyar. Instead it is said that he took sanyAsAshramam from SatakOpa Jeeyar and that this Jeeyar was his fellow disciple (sabrahmachAri). The latter should make it clear that it could not have been AdhivaN Satakopa Jeeyar. He was not a co-disciple of Mamunikal, under Thiruvaymozhip Pillai. So, who was this Satakopa Jeeyar from whom MamunikaL took sanyasAshramam? This was the 7th pattam Jeeyar of Azhvar Thirunagari Emperumanar Jeeyar matam, who indeed was Thiruvaymozhip Pillai's disciple along with MamunikaL, at Azhvar Thirunagari. His name is recorded as "emperumAnAr kOyil sathkOpa jIyar" in periya thirumudi adaivu. That he gave MamunikaL sanyasAshramam is recorded in his vaibhavam as well as in his vAzhi thirunAmam "azhagiya maNavALa munikku Asiramam aLiththa pirAn vAzhiyE". adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
