Dear Sridharan,

Adiyen will try to answer as much as I can. Maybe, other respected members
can fill in/correct me.

Sri RAmAnujar was responsible for setting right and correcting many
rites and rituals at the Srirangam temple and legend says that Perumal
himself called him as "emmai udayavar" out of happiness. I believe,
the kovil ozhugu of Srirangam mentions about this (on how Udayavar is
called so). Does someone in this group know the exact wording ?

Thiruvarangathu amudhanAr is the author of R. nUtRadhAdhi. Not sure
what the meaning of the thaniyan is.
