============================================================

Since both were AchAryAs  together at the same time,
they were fondly called as pEriAndavan and
chinnAndavan by the sishyAs and admirers alike. This
period lasted for a very short duration though with
Srimath pEriAndavan reaching  parama padam within 4
months of Srimath chinnAndavan took up sanyAsA. 

Srimath chinnAndavan was serving as guiding light of
the sampradaya and authored rarest of several granthAs
when he was the AchAryA  of the periAsramam– They are
as follows:

1. AhnikArtha prakAsikai
2. Sri Jayanthi nirNayam
3. ukthyAchArya nishtA vichAram
4. sathpadha rakshai
5. JanmAshtami nirNayam
6. thathkrathu nyAya vichAram
7. AchArya sambhAvanA kramam
8. yathi dharama samucchayam
9. Aasowcha sangraham
