Brindavanam ThirukalyanNI theeram, Thirunarayanapuram
Initiated into Sanyasaasrama by Lord Lakshminrusimha. The title “Adi” stands for Adipiraan
of Azhvaar Thirunagari. The title “Vann Sathakopan” stands for Nammazhhvaar. This
Azhagiya Singar rescued and revived Azhvaar Thirunagari temple and brought Azhvaaar dhivya
mangala vigraham back to the temple. This is the occasion when Lord AthipirAn referred to
Nammazhvaar with the “Nam” prefix. From this day forward the Azhvaar became known as
Nammazhvaar.
Among the many kainkaryams performed by Srimad Adivann Sathakopan are (i) Swami Sri
Desikan sannidhi and Raja Gopuram for Thirunarayanapuram temple, (ii) Steps for
Thirumalai, (iii) 100 pillar hall at Kanchipuram, (iv) repair of walls for all the 7 prAkArams of
Sriranagam temple, (v) DasAvathAra Sannidhi with Sannidhi for Thirumangai Azhvar, and (vi)

Paramapatham AngIrasa Year, Masi Month, Krishna Paksham, Panchami Thithi (Feb
1513)
He is a very famous Acharya in our lineage after Sri Adivann Sathakopa Jeer. He initiated
Panchamatha Panchanam Sri ThathaChariar Swami into Sri Sannidhi Sri Karyam Kainkaryam.
He did Sancharam from Srirangam to Sri Ahobilam and had many disciples.
One of the Vijayanagar Kings, Sri SadaSiva Rayan had very great regard for this Jeer and gave
“Sri Bhasyapuram” village to Sri Ahobila Mutt. One day, his daughter became possessed by a
very powerful evil spirit and the magicians who were asked to help, could not do anything. The
evil spirit said that if our Jeer will come and ask it to leave, it will do the same. This Jeer went to
the king's palace and gave Sri Sannidhi holy water to the king's daughter. The evil spirit left the
king's daughter, as promised and this Jeer became very famous.
Sri Ahobila Nrushimhar at Upper Ahobilam, came in his dreams and asked him to come to his
Sanctum Sanctorum and spend the rest of the Jeer's life deep in a cave just below the Sanctum
Sanctorum. So, this Jeer gave the Sri Sannidhi duties to one of his disciple and left for
6
Ahobilam. After some years, one of the Jeer’s disciples, Sri Thatachariar swami went to Upper
Ahobilam, unable to bear his Guru's separation. It is said that this Jeer came in person and
after comforting the disciple, went back to his penance. It is believed that even now, he is in a
deep yogic penance just under the Sanctum Sanctorum.
