'''Prathivadhi Bhayankaram Aṇṇan''' was a [[Sri Vaishnava]] Acharya, [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Sanskrit]] [[scholar]], the [[composer]] of the popular [[Suprabhatam#Venkateswara Suprabhatam|Venkateswara Suprabhatam]]. He appeared in this world bearing the name Hasthigirinathar Aṇṇan in the year AD 1361. He was one of the prominent disciples of [[Manavala Mamunigal]], belonged to a distinguished line of "[[Acharya]] Puruṣas" and had a large number of followers. Aṇṇan composed many hymns, of which the popular [[Suprabhatam|Venkateshwara Suprabhatham]], Venkateṣa Stotram, Venkateṣa Prapatti and Venkateṣa Mangaļāṣāsanam are recited daily at the [[Tirumala Venkateswara Temple]] at the wee-hours of the day to wake up the Lord. The rendition of the hymns by Smt. [[M S Subbulakshmi]] is played everyday in millions of households in India and abroad.<ref>http://guruparamparai.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/prathivadhi-bhayankaram-annan/</ref><ref>http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppiliappan/archives/aug03/msg00100.html</ref><ref>http://srirangapankajam.com/archives-mamunigal/</ref>

[[File:Sri Kanchi Prativadibhayankar Jagadguru Anantacharya Gaddi Swamiji.jpg|thumb|left|Sri Kanchi Prativadibhayankar Jagadguru Anantacharya Gaddi Swamiji]]Aṇṇan was born in Kanchipuram, and initiated into the [[Sri Vaishnava]] Sampradāyam by his father, who was the 10th generation descendant of Mudumbai Nambi, one of the 74 simhāsanādipathis appointed by [[Ramanuja]].<ref>http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/oct95/0188.html</ref> He later became a disciple of [[Vedanta Desika]]'s son Nayana-Varadāchārya. Nayana-Varadāchārya gave him the name "Prathivathi Bhayankaram Aṇṇan". Aṇṇan was acknowledged as an authority on Sanskrit literature and spiritual discourses in those times. He is said to be the most prominent scholar in South India of his time, and was widely respected throughout India. After studying Sribhaṣyam from Nayana-Varadāchārya, Aṇṇan went to [[Tirumala Venkateswara Temple]] and did devotional service to Lord [[Venkateswara]].

At the [[Tirumala Venkateswara Temple]], Aṇṇan heard the glories of [[Manavala Mamuni]] and about his nectarine discourses on the works of the [[Azhwars]] and the doctrines of [[Sri Vaishnavism|Sri Vaishnava Sampradayam.]] Following this, Aṇṇan became the disciple of [[Manavala Mamuni]] and learnt the entire commentaries of these works from him at [[Srirangam]]. At that time Aṇṇan surrendered at the feet of [[Manavala Mamuni]]. And [[Manavala Mamuni]] gave him the dāsya nama "Sri Vaiṣnava Dāsan" seeing his humility towards the devotees of the Lord. Further, [[Manavala Mamuni]], after seeing Annan's prowess in Sribhāṣyam, bestowed him the Sribhāṣya Simhāsanam and the title 'Sribhāṣyāchārya'. Aṇṇan also served as one of the aṣta-dik-gajas of [[Manavala Mamuni]].

People often confuse Prathivadhi Bhayankaram Annan with a 20th-century scholar-Acharya Prathivṣdhi Bhayankaram Annangarāchārya, who was one of the first āchāryās to publish the entire works of [[Sri Vaishnava]] āchāryās like [[Azhwars]], [[Ramanuja]], [[Vedanta Desika]], [[Manavala Mamuni]] etc., in the first half of the 20th Century.

The twelve divya [[Saligrama]] ṣilas and the Śri-Bhu Sametha [[Ranganatha]] Swamy idol that were once worshipped by him are now being worshipped by Sri Prativadhi Bhayankaram Raghavacharyulu, a fifteenth generation descendant in his lineage in [[Vijayawada]], [[Andhra Pradesh]]. Popular Indian Playback Singer [[P. B. Sreenivas]] was one of his descendants in his lineage in [[Kakinada]], [[Andhra Pradesh]].
