******************
Tirukkachi NambigaL, who had the greatest special blessed privilege 
of conversing with Sri Varadaraja PerumAL Himself. He was blessed 
with this extraordinary privilege for performing the Thiruvaalavatta 
(fanning) kaimkaryam to PerumAL with utmost bhakti and involvement. 
In fact, NambhigaL (KaanchipoorNar) was born to Sri vaishnava 
Vaisiya (Chettiar) kula Sri Veeraraghava Chettiar and Kamalai at 
Poovirundhavalli. Though his parents were quite wealthy and were 
successful businessmen, NambhigaL had his mind only on Bhagawath, 
BhAgawatha kaimkaryam. 

He became a sishya of Sri YamunAcharyar (Sri Alavandhar) along with 
other sishyas namely, Periya Nambhi (Sri mahApoorNar), 
ThirukkOttiyoor Nambhi, and others. Sri Alavandhar named NambhigaL 
as pEraruLaaLa dAsar, while Sri Varadaraja PerumAL (PeraruLALan) 
Himself named him as GajEndra dAsar. NambhigaL is the one who showed 
Ramaujar to Alavandhar from afar at Kanchipuram Sri 
VaradarajaperumAL temple. Ramanuja, after breaking up 
from Yadavaprakasar, (when he was doing theertha kaimkaryam at 
Varadaraja PerumAL Koil) approached Thirukkaccchi nambhigaL and 
learnt tatvaartham from him. Thirukkacchinambhi is the one who asked 
(on request from RamanujA) Sri Varadaraja PerumAL and obtained from 
Lord Varadaraja the famous ' Six Words ' and passed them on to 
RamanujA.  The six words are: (as told by Lord Varadarja Himself to 
NambhigaL)  

1 ahamEva Parathvam.  I- "Lord Narayana" is the Paramatma.
2 dharsnam bhEda Eva cha. :Individual souls are different from 
Paramatma.
3 upAyEshu prapatthisyAth- Prapatti (SaranAgathy- Complete 
Surrender) is the means to attain mOksham.
4 antima smruthi varjanam- Last remembrance of the Lord on the death 
bed is NOT necessary.
5 DhEhaavasaanE mukthisyAth- mOksham can be obtained the moment one 
(prapannan) lays off the present mortal body 6 PoorNaachaarya 
smaashrayam- MahApoorNar (Periya Nambhi) is the AchAryan for 
RamanujA, under whom RamanujA should take refuge.

Thus, Thirukkacchi became most important Sri Vaishnava link for ALL 
OF all of us. Though he was born in Vaisya kulam, he was greatly 
revered by YathirAjar.
