I am learning the Vaibhavam of Shri Parashara Bhattar from acharya.org/d.html | Upanyasams and the link titled 'Bhattar Vaibhavam'.

Sri Velukkudi Krishnan swami in the upanyasam says that Sri Parashara Bhattar was born to Sri Kooratthaazhwan, in AD 1122, which was when Sri Kooratthaazhwan was well into his 100's (age). And, moreover, this birth of children is after Sri Kooratthazhwan had lost his eyes, eyes being plucked out by King Kirimikanda Chozhan. And Sri Kooratthaazhwan seems to have had only 1 wife, Sri Aandaalamma. Under the circumstance that Sri Kooratthaazhwan was 100+ yrs of age, his wife would also be a very old person herself for the said time of birth of Parashara Bhattar and his Vyasa Bhattar.

I am unable to believe, owing to the above reasons, that Parashara Bhattar and Vyasa Bhattar are Kooratthaazhwan and Aandalamma's children or they must have had the chilldren much, much earlier.

Are there any other versions of the above story - that of birth of Sri Parashara Bhattar and Sri Vyasa Bhattar?

A saint can do anything..Without using my mind, I can easily agree this.

If I use my mind, there is a date mistake? - Any thing related to history has a problem in dates as we do not focus much on dates because "The concept of time does not exist" for us. This is my understanding
