Excerpt from The Life of Ramanujacharya: The Exponent of the Visishtadvaita Philosophy
A long time elapsed between the Azhvars (Saints) and the Achâryas (Sages). At the date 916 A.D. or when the Sage Yamunacharya was born, Nathamuni, his grandfather, was alive. We have in record, that Isvara-bhatt-Azhvar was the father of Natha-muni; and Isvara-muni was his (Nathamuni's) son. All the three together lived in Viranarayanapuram where exists the Holy Shrine of Mannar Kôil; the Resident Deity, there manifest, being Mannanar (=Lord Krishna or Raja-Gopala).
God so manifest was their household Deity.
