There were four sthanikas- Tiruvanatapura dasar (Vasista gotra, Jaiminisutra, Samaveda sakha); Malakara dasar (Koundinya gotra, Bodhayanasutra, Yajurveda sakha); Tirukkurungudi Dasar (Vasistha gotra, Jaimini sutra, Samaveda Sakha); and Yatiraja Dasar of Elayattangudi (Bhargava gotra, Jaimini sutra, Samaveda Sakha).
Do the Chozhiyas still recite in the Jaminiya fashion ? Or have adopted the Kauthuma recitation style ?
The sthanikas seem to be chozhiya vaishnavas based on their sutras - Bodhayana and Jaimini
There is also a 5th Chozhiya
Sadagopa Dasar (Bharadwaja gotra, Jaimini sutra, Sama Sakha) was in charge of vahanas
The non-chozhiya (Apastamba, Drahyayana) have different functions (The Araiyar is wrongly mentioned to belong to Jaimini Sutra)
Tiruvali Annan (Sadamarshana gotra, Apastambha sutra, Yajurveda Sakha) was to carry out orders of the Jeer of Yatiraja matha. Poretru Nayanar from Anbil (Maudgalya gotra, Drahyayana sutra, Sama Sakha) was in charge of gold and silver vessels belonging to the temple and also temple accounts. Tirunarayana Perumal Araiyar (Vadhula gotra, Jaimini sutra, Yajurveda Sakha) was in charge of Astothara and Sahasranama stotra reciting and also musical rendering of pasurams, on the lines of the vinnappam seivar of Srirangam
Interestingly the Chief priest is from the Kanva Shakha (Same as Srirangam ?)
