The glories of SrI piLLai lOkArya jIyar
piLLai lOkArya (piLLai lOkam) jIyar, who had mercifully composed this divine grantham yathIndhra pravaNa prabhAvam, which narrates the glories of maNavALa mAmunigaL, incarnated in the divine clan of gOvindhappa thAdhar (dhAsar) who was deeply engaged with the divine feet of maNavALa mAmunigaL, just like madhurakaviyAzhwAr was towards nammAzhwAr. This gOvindhappa dhAsar adopted sanyASramam and was given the divine name of bhattar pirAn jIyar, being one of maNavALa mAmunigaL’s ashtadhikkajangaL (elephants in the eight directions). azhagiya maNavALar was the son of gOvindhappa dhAsar. azhagiya maNavALar’s grandson was varadhAchAryar. When varadhAchAryar adopted sanyAsASramam, he became famous as piLLailOkam jIyar. He had mercifully composed maNipravALa vyAkhyAnam for maNavALa mAmunigaL’s divine compositions of yathirAja vimSathi, upadhEsaraththinamAlai, thiruvAimozhi nURRandhAdhi and Arthi prabandham. He has also mercifully written rAmAnujArya dhivyacharitham which narrates the glories of rAmANujar, vyAkhyAnam for irAmANusa nURRandhAdhi, vyAkhyAnam for nAlAyirath thaniyans. His divine star is thiruvOnam (SravaNam) in chiththirai (mEsha mAsam).
He had rebuilt the sannidhi at thirukkadanmallai after the temple had been washed away by the sea, in its present position and installed the divine vigrahams of perumAL and bhUdhaththAzhwAr inside the temple. He received honours in the sannidhi such as first thIrtham etc. Even now, his descendents from pUrvASramam get this distinction. Detailed notes about the life of this jIyar are not available.
