Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear KK,
I forgot to add one more important information and it is 
about my own ancestor Tirumalai Chakravarthy who was a contemporary 
of and one of the 74 simhAsnAdhipathis appointed by EmperumAnAr. 
Tirumalai Chakravarthy(brahmana) did the last rites for a dead body
(of a sudra)which was left unattended. If in this modern world we see 
people still observing caste differences,we can imagine the scene in 
10th-11th century. Society was talking ill of my ancestor but the 
Lord Varadarajan/PEraruLALan(He can bestow anything from cheap to the 
highest puruShArthams and hence there is no need to worship demi-gods)
of Kanci said "nAttukku pollAn emakku nallAn". From then onwards this 
title "nallan" was retained. I am very very very proud of my 
ancestor:-)
