Maha Purnar - Peria Nambi
Marghazhi Kettai 

Bhagavat Ramanuja had Five Acharyas. The Primary 

Acharya was Peria Nambi alias Maha Poornar. At 

Alvandar's instructions,  Peria Nambi decides to impart 

Divya Prabhandham and Vedanta sastras to Ramanuja 

and travels towards Sriperambudur. In the mean time 

Lord Vardaja gives six axioms to Bhagavat Ramanuja 

through Thirukachi Nambi. So Ramanuja decides to 

travel to Srirangam to meet Peria nambi. Both meet at 

Madhuranthakam. PanchasamskAram was performed for 

Bhagavat Ramanuja by Peria Nambi at Madhuranthakam 

and  mantras were taught by Peria Nambi.

Peria Nambi made a great sacrifice along with 

Koorthazhwan for the sake of Bhagavat Ramanuja and 

lost his eyes as the Chola King ordered them to be 

removed.After released by Chola King, Peria Namabi was 

returning to Srirangam but due to illness he reached the 

Lotus Feet of Lord Narayana in Chola kingdom, away 

from Srirangam.
