Taniyan of this azhagiyasingar:

Well before Asthana sweekaram, this azhagiyasingar undertook sanyAsa Asramam and completed 2 cAturmAsya vrata anushTAnam.From pUrvASramam itself this HH was writing granthams to clear the doubts of sishyas instantaneously. Over 26 granthams of this azhagiyasingar is known to us. The stotra grantham, ‘SArIrika suprabhAtam’ awakens Lord varadan, Who is in yOganidrA on SrIsUktis such as SrIbhAshyam, Upanishads etc…
Swami desikan of thiruvallikkeni ahobilamatam was installed by this azhagiyasingar. HH renovated the thirumALigai of Swami dESikan in ThiruvahIndrapuram. While having darshanam of the brindAvanams of 3 previous azhagiyasingars at Narasimhapuram, one swami told HH there was still some space between the brindAvanams. HH was wondering whether He could get that honour of having His brindAvanam there itself. His wish was fulfilled by his abhimAna perumAL SrI Veeraraghavan of thiruevvuL.
