Dear Sir,
There is no doubt about the fact that the avatar of Sri Andal is much earlier 
than the avatar of Sri Ramanuja. The story as to how Emberumanar earned the 
title of Anna is a beautiful one. As you know in our country it is the custom 
and the duty of an elder brother to fulfil the wishes of his younger sister. 
Emberumanar fulfilled Sri Andal's wishes by offering 1000 vessels of Akkara 
vadisal to Sri Azhagar at Thirumaliruncholai, a promise made by her earlier, 
immediately Sri Andal pleased with the saint appeared before Him and addressed 
Him as Anna.

It is said that Sri Andal stepped out of the garbhagruham to greet her "Anna" 
and has stayed in the ardha mantapam from the incident. Sri Ramanuja is also 
known as Godhagraja or the elder to Sri Andal based on this incident. I hope 
this answers your question. I am attaching the photo of the Thirumaaliruncholai 
where the "piranthu veetu seer" was offered and where Sri Ramanuja was 
addressed as "Anna" by Sri Andal herself - for fulfilling the seer promised by 
her earlier. 
Regards,
Srimathi Venkatachari Raghavan
