When any one wants to know about a guru, he needs to be introduced by someone who had greater understanding about his work, teachings, glory etc. This time we learn about hm through Arthi Prabandham composed by Manavala Mamaunigal.
Manavala Mamunigal had the distinction of being blessed with "Sri Sailesa Dayapaartram" thanian by none other than Lord Ranganatha. He had close proximity to Lord Ranganatha. He strongly believed that that Bhagavath Ramanuja who was conferred the power to grant Moksha is the only dependable source to recommend him a moksham. Such was his guru bakthi. He decides to plead with Yathiraja.
Arthi Prabhandham was the very last composition of Manavala Mamunigal reflecting on the the glory and compassion of Bhagavath Ramanuja. Mamunigal appeals to Yathiraja to help him to shed his mortal coil and bless him with a darshan of Sriman Narayana on the wings of Peraia thiruvadi
Arthi Prabhandham consists of 60 pasurams and is classic example of Manavala Manunigals mastery of Tamil Poetry composition. He has used most of commonly and uncommonly used meters of Tamil Poetry in these 60 pasurams
All these category have exalted status compared to Nithyasuris. Nithyasuris consider the fourth category as their Masters and glorify them.

In this verse, Mamunigal refers to categories of people. First category consists of Adiyars of Bhagavat Ramanuja, who sing mangalams to Bhagavat Ramanuja as in “vazhi ethirasan vazhi ethirasan vAzhi ethiraasan”. Second category are well wishers of first category and they sing the first category of Adiyars of Ramanuja. The third category sings the glory of well wishers of firsr category who directly serve Bhagavat Ramanuja. The third group is covered by “vAzhi yena vAzththuvAr vAzhi”. There is fourth category simply adore the third category and surrender to them
All these category have exalted status compared to Nithyasuris. Nithyasuris consider the fourth category as their Masters and glorify them.
