pinbhazhagiya perumAL jIyar is a dear sishya of nampiLLai<\/a> and is also known as pinbhazhagarAm perumAL jIyar. He documents the historical accounts of our AzhwAr\/AchAryas lives in his 6000 padi guru paramparA prabhAvam. Similar to nanjIyar<\/a> (a sannyAsi) serving bhattar<\/a> (gruhastha), pinbhazhagiya perumAL jIyar (sannyAsi) served nampiLLai<\/a> (gruhastha).<\/p>\n

When pinbhazhagiya perumAL jIyar was ill, he asks other srIvaishNavas to pray to emperumAn for his speedy recovery \u2013 this is considered as improper per srIvaishNava etiquette \u2013 one should not pray to emperumAn for anything \u2013 even for recovering from illness (what to speak about going to doctor, etc). Seeing this, sishyas of nampiLLai<\/a> come and enquire from nampiLLai on why jIyar was doing that. nampiLLai asks his sishyas to enquire from few swamys about jIyar\u2019s behaviour. nampiLLai first says, go and ask engaLAzhwAn<\/a> who is an expert in all sAsthram. engaLAzhwAn replies \u201cmay be he is attached to srIrangam and he wants to stay here for some more time\u201d. nampiLLai then asks his sishyas to go and ask thirunArAyaNapurathu arayar \u2013 arayar says \u201cmay be he has some unfinished tasks which he wants to complete, so he is praying to prolonging his life here\u201d. nampiLLai<\/a> then asks his sishyas to ammangi ammAL who says \u201cwho would want to leave nampiLLai\u2019s kAlakshEpa gOshti, he may be praying so he is here for some more time to listen to nampiLLai\u2019s kAlakshEpam\u201d. nampiLLai then asks his sishyas to go to periya mudhaliyAr and he says \u201cmay be he is too attached to namperumAL<\/a> that he does not want to leave from here\u201d. nampiLLai<\/a> finally asks jIyar himself if any of these views are in line with what he himself is thinking. jIyar replies \u201cNo. You know everything. But out of your mercy, you want to reveal this by me. Let me say why I want to continue living here. Everyday, after\u00a0 you taking bath, I get to have the divine dharshan of your form and serve you by fanning, etc. How can I give up that service and go to parampadham just yet?\u201d. Thus, pinbhazhagarAm perumAL jIyar reveals the highest principle for a sishya \u2013 to be fully attached to the divine form of ones own AchAryan. Hearing this everyone was amazed by jIyar\u2019s devotion towards nampiLLai<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was instrumental in making naduvil thiruvIdhi piLLai bhattar a sishya of nampiLLai. This incident can be fully seen at https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2013\/04\/20\/naduvil-thiruvidhi-pillai-bhattar-english\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
