Pranams,

?VaramangA mahAdEvi gaganAchala yOginaha:
parAnu bhava bhOdhAya suprabhAdham thanOthviha?

As per the thiruvullam(desire) of Periya perumal, Lord
RanganAtha thiruanandAzhvan took one more avatAram as
Azhagiya manavAla perumal nAyanar to complete the jobs
left over in his previous avatAram as Sri Ramanuja. 
As NayanAr grew up as sakala sAstra vithpannar, to
help him out in his venture to uplift the jeevatmas,
emperuman desired to bless him with a sath shisya. 
Once again thiruanandAzhvAn himself took another
avatAram as a shisya to help the acharya.

The shisya was born in one of the sacrad places where
number of great scholars lived as per alwar?s
paasurams, ?thEru jnAnaththavar vEda vElviyarAch
sirivara mangala nagar? and ?SenthozhilAlar vEda
vElviyarA sirivara mangala nagar? and added a lot of
credit to the divine kshEtram. In such a divine
place, in a very orthodox SriVaishnava family, whose
ancestors where under the service of emperuman
generation after generations (?EzhAtkAlum puram
thozhAdhu kudi kudi vandhu At seibhavargal?), lived a
great scholar, Sri RangAchariyAr, Who was respected by
all for his jnAnam and who was a shisya of
ThiruvAimozhi pillai. Sri RangAchariyar was blessed
with poorna lakshmi katAksham and Jnana, bhakthi and
vairAkhyam. 

To this great scholar a son was born in Rakthashi
samvatsara, kanyA mAsam, punarvasu nakshatram, as a
amsa and shisya of Azhagiya manavAla perumAl nAyanAr. 
This avatara was like nara avatAra as a shisya to
nArAyana avatara (both were bhagavat avatarams);
madhurakavigal avatAram to NammAzhvar (both were
alwars); MudaliyAndAn avatara as a amsa of bhagavat
ramanuja (acharya avatars); this avatar as a amsa of
Azhagiya manavAla perumal nAyanAr. Among the three
sons of RangAchariyar he was the second son. Pleased
with the beauty of the child?s thirumEni (body), the
child was named Azhagiya varadar. Scholars predicted
the child to be an amsAvatAram, a great jnAni and a
ardent disciple. Sri RangAchariyar, himself realized
his second son to be a special child and hence
regarded him very dear to him. He did all the
ceremonies that had to be done to his sons in
appropriate times. The sons were taught veda and
Vedanta in the appropriate ages.

Azhagiya varadar, was very intelligent and grasped any
lesson the very first time and learnt everything in a
very short period of time. Deciding to do
panchasamskAram to his son under his acharya, Sri
RangAchariyar proceeded towards Alwar thirunagari
along with his sons.
