Swami Nammazhvar is known as Prapannajana Kootasthar (Chief among those who have surrendered). Among the twelve revered Azhvars who are shining stars of Sri Vaishnavam, Swami Nammazhvar is the only Azhvar who is part of the divine Acharya Guruparamparai. This is because it is through Swami Nammazhvar the Sri Vaishnava Sampradayam got Nalayira Dhivya Prabhandham. This is explained further in the next Acharya Sriman Nathamuni's page.
