Dear Sri Sampath kumar,
The astadiggajas of swamy manavala mAmunigal
were:
1)Onnana Sri Vanamamalai ramanuja Jeeyer swamy
2) Pattarbiran Jeeyer swamy
3) Thiruvenkada jeeyer swamy
4) Koil kandAdai Annan swamy
5) prativAdi bayankaram annan
6) erumbiappa
7) appullar
8) Appillai
Two books that tell us about the life history of Swamy
manavala mAmunikal and about his shisyas are yateendra pravana prabhAvam and Sri
Varamangai muni vaibhavam. Yateendra pravana prabhavam was written by Sri
Pillai lokam jeeyer swamy who was the great grandson of Sri Pattarbiran jeeyer
swamy (who remained like madurakavi azhvar to mAmunikal and was called
govindappadAsar in his poorvAsramam). Adiyen has translated the charitram
of Sri ponnadikAl jeeyer swamy onnana Vanamamalai ramanuja jeeyer swamy into
english, Sri Varamangai muni vaibhavam that also highlights the life of Swamy
mAmunikal and how all his shisyas reached his divine feet. You can see the
translation in the following URL
