Crown of Sottai Kulam ( Sri Satamarshana Gothram) – Sriman Nathamunigal :
Part - II
Lord Sri Krishna blessed this aacharyan and fore-said that there will be great mahans to take birth in his lineage and they will be 'His men' and would show the light to the world. The Lord also gave a 'dravida nama' to his lineage as "Sottai Kulam" meaning the "Elevated Lineage" and told him that "Naame num Sottai Kulaththin Dheivamaavom!" meaning, "I will be the lord of your lineage!". Then this Aachayan as per the orders of Sri Krishna left for Thirumalai. Later, he had a desire of visiting various divine places. Three great aacharyas came to this Aacharyan and had the kalakshepams for Sri Visishtadvaita Sampradhaya. These three great Aacharyan were none other than the "Mudhalalwargal".
He along with the Mudhalalwargal, enjoyed the Kalyana Gunas of our beloved Lord. Then all of them started the divine Yathra with the orders of Sri Malayappa Swamy. Later He was in 'Yogam' with Thirumazhisai Piran at Thirukudanthai. The decendants of this aacharyan were also great scholars. Among one of them were Sri Easwara Munigal and he was doing kainkaryams for Sri Aaravamudhalwan of Thirukudanthai. He on the Divya Desa yathra, came to Thiru Veeranarayana Puram (the modern 'Mannar Koil') and was ordered by the Lord Sri Mannar to stay there and to do Kainkaryam.
Then Sri Easwara Munigal started doing Kainkaryam to Sri Mannar, there he was blessed with Sriman Nathamunigal as his son on an Aani-Anusham day in the Kali Yuga.
