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:-) AzhvAr EmperumAnAr JIyar thiruvadigaLE sharaNam NC Nappinnai
