+According to the [[Tenkalai]] tradition (''Guru-parampara''), [[Ramanuja]]'s cousin, Embar, succeeded him as the leader of Sri Vaishnavas, followed by Parasara Bhattar. Parasara defeated an [[Advaita Vedanta]] philosopher named Madhava in a debate. He accepted Madhava as a disciple, gave him the name [[Nanjiyar]], and appointed him as his successor.<ref name="VR_1917">{{cite journal |author=V.

+According to Sri Vaishnava tradition, once, Koorathalvar went to bed without dinner because he had not obtained any alms that night due to rain, nor was there any food in his house. When his wife, Andal, heard the wind instrument ''tiruchinnam'' being blown to ritually announce the ceremonial consumption of temple offerings ([[Prasada|prasadam]]) by the deity [[Ranganatha]], she is said to have wondered if it was proper for the deity to partake of lavish food when his devotee (Koorathalvar) had gone to bed hungry. Ranganatha heard her thoughts, and dispatched his devotee, Uttamanambi, to prepare some food and take it to Koorathalvar. The theologian shared the food with his wife, and due to having consumed blessed food, Andal shortly gave birth to two sons, Sreeramapillai and Bhattar. Bhattar was offered the additional name Parasara by [[Ramanuja]], after the great sage and the author of the [[Vishnu Purana]] ([[Parāśara]]).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rangarajan |first=Prof G. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8cZyEAAAQBAJ&dq=Para%C5%9Bara+Bhattar&pg=PP41 |title=Footprints in the Sands of time |date=2022-06-17 |publisher=Notion Press |isbn=979-8-88641-659-6 |pages=41–42 |language=en}}</ref>
