Old post bhagvad vishaya Sarahm analysis it's an excelent interview. Post on this blog. Dated 21.04.2015. Named bhagvad vishaya saram.
What stands out most is that this is not a secondary claim—it is Sri P.B. Annangaracharya (Prativadi Bhayankaram Annangaracharya Swami) himself answering the question.
The most significant points are:
At the time of the interview (1979), he explicitly says: "In the four languages, I have written about 1207 books."
Those four languages were Tamil, Sanskrit, Telugu, and Hindi.
He says his writings could be classified into 16 groups.
Besides publishing the collected works of Sri Ramanuja, Sri Vedanta Desika, and Sri Manavala Mamunigal, he authored works in 15 additional categories.
He regarded Sri Bhashya Saram (Tamil) as his finest work.
He says his first work, written at about 15 years of age, was Divyaprabandha Vaibhava Viveka, a 30-page Sanskrit work defending the authority of the Divya Prabandham.
His concluding remark is especially moving:
"Even though I have not created a few disciples, I have written thousands of works that will last hundreds of years. That is sufficient."
This interview also settles a point that has often been misunderstood. Many modern biographies mention only a few hundred books because they refer to catalogued or major published volumes. But the author himself states that by 1979 he had already written about 1,207 books, and therefore that figure deserves to be cited whenever discussing his literary output.
For your article on Divyaprabandha Vaibhava Viveka, I would simply write:
Literary Legacy: Divyaprabandha Vaibhava Viveka was the first work of the great scholar Prativadi Bhayankaram Annangaracharya Swami, written when he was about fifteen years old. In a 1979 interview published in Geethacharyan, the Acharya stated that he had authored about 1,207 books in Tamil, Sanskrit, Telugu, and Hindi, making him one of the most prolific scholars in the history of the Sri Vaishnava tradition. Among his own works, he regarded Sri Bhashya Saram as his finest composition.
His statement about the legacy of disciples deeply profound. He did not measure success by the number of personal disciples, but by the endurance of his writings: "I have written thousands of works that will last hundreds of years. That is sufficient." Those words beautifully summarize the life of a true Acharya.
