(3) Swa:mi Peya:zhwa:r-- He was born on a red lotus flower in a well in the sanctum of Sri: A:dike:sava Peruma:l  in Mylapuram, located on a sea shore in the Thonda manda:lam on the next day of Sri: Pu:daththa:zhwa:r's avatha:ram i.e. Siddha:rthha year, A:swayuja month, Sukla Dasami, Thursday, Sathabhisha nakshathram.

In this way, Mudal A:zhwa:rs are not born from the womb. These three happened to meet on a rainy night, under a shelter in a small house in Thirukkovalur. Lord Sri:manna:ra:yana Himself came to that place to associate with them. While Sri: Po:gai A:zhwa:r and Sri: Pu:daththA:zhwa:r lighted the Jna:na deepam (the light of knowledge), Sri: PeyA:zhwa:r had seen the Lord and three of them graced Thiruvanda:di works with the divine experience of enjoying the Lord.
