SrI:
SrimthE Ramanujaya Nama:

Dear Srimad Ramanuja dAsA's and bhAgavathAs:: 
adiyEn namaskArams to all::

Acharyar Periya Nambigal is also known as pUrNAchAryar, ParAnkusa
dAsar. Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Nayanar in his work, "Aivaril,
naalvaril, moovaril muRpattavar, santhEhiyAmal sagajarOdE
purOdOsamaaka seiytha puthra kruthyam...". Here "aivaril muRpattavar"
King Yuthistra, who was the first and foremost among Pancha pandavas.
He had performed last rites to Vithura without any doubt after the
asareerI's word. Even though, Vithurar is born in lower caste, and
YuthistrA was born in Kshatriya vamsam, had performed the after burial
rites to Vithruar - "santhEgiyAmal seiytha puthra kruthyam"

Similarly "naalvaril muRpattavar" is Sri Ramapiran, who was the first
and foremost among the four brothers (Rama, Lakshmana, Bharatha,
Sathrugana). He performed the lat rites to JatAyu - a bird. Even
though, Ramapiran was born in Kshatriya vamsam, He performed the last
rites along with His brother to JatAyu - a bird being a low in birth -
"sagajarOdE seiytha puthra kruthyam".

Similarly "moovaril muRpattavar" is Periya Nambigal. He was the first
among the three AchArya Nambi's - Periya Nambigal, Thiruk kOttiyUr
Nambigal, Periya Thirumalai Nambigal. All the three Nambigal was the
SishyA of Sri ALavandhAr. Among them, AlavandhAr chose Periya Nambigal
to bring IlaiAzhwar into our SampradhAyam. Periya Nambigal performed
last rites to mARanEri nambigal - a great sishyA of Sri ALavandhAr. As
per the request of mARanEri nambigal, Periya Nambigal performed last
rites to him - "purOdOsamaaka seiytha puthra kruthyam"

Among the PerumAL, Thiruk kurungudi emperumAn is called as "nambi".
Thiru kurungudi nambi is guna paripUrNan. Among Azhwars, NammAzhwar is
called as Thiruk KuruhUr Nambi. Thiruk KuruhUr Nambi has a special
pUrthi as said - "vEdham thamizh seiytha  mARan" - one who brought
vEdhAs in tamizh and made everyone as adhikAri's to learn and attain
sAyujyam - salvation. Similarly among AchArya's, pUrNAchAryar or
Parankusa dAsar is called as Periya Nambigal who had a special pUrthi
by bringing IlaiyAzhwar (Srimad Ramanujar) into our sampradhAyam
through samAsrayanam. Since Srimad Ramanujar is JagathAchAryar, he
made and is still making everyone in the world as Sri VaishNava and an
adhikAri to attain the salvation.

All these three nambigal has relationship at Thiruk Kurungudi
divyadesam. EmperumAn at this divyadesam itself is Thiruk kurungudi
nambi. It's said that, Thiru kurungudi nambi was born as NammAzhwar at
Thiruk KuruhUr. The Jeeyar at Thiruk Kurungudi is the representative
of Periya Nambigal.

Periya Nambigal had the great task of bringing IlaiyAzhwar who was at
Kancheepuram into our sampradhAyam and as head of Sri Vaishnavam at
Sri Rangam after Sri ALavandhAr. 

AdiyEn would discuss the two attempts made by Periya Nambigal to bring
Srimad Ramanujar to Sri Rangam and made him as a AchAryar, in next mail.

adiyEn,
