Came across a request for this Shloka long ago on a thread about Bhagawan
Adi Shankara's historical timeline.

Dear sirs:

After the polemical debate with sri Mandana Misra , Sri Mandana
Misra's wife Sarasawani challenged sri Sankara to a debate with
her. Sri Sankara gave suitable replies to her, but faltered when
Sarasawani asked him about family life. It is said that she
herself felt sorry for having asked a sanyasi about kaama sutra.

However, Sankara requested her to give him a month's time to
answer her question, which she did. Adi Sanakara, on his way
back to his place, saw the dead body of the King of the state
and decided to enter into his body ( parakaaya pravesam ).
He learnt what he wanted to and ruled the kingdom efficiently.
Seeing the change in the King, the ministers sensed that some
great saint's soul has entered into the king's body and so they
ordered that any dead body of any saint found in the kingdom
be burnt so that the new saint-king can rule the country for
ever.

The disciples , who were guarding the body of Sri Adi Sankara,
came to know of the ministers' plans and they rushed to the king's
court. They reminded the king as to who he is by singing a hymn
consisting of five verses - this is called ' tatvamasi panchakam '.
Each verse will end with the words - Tatvamasi Tatvamasi
Tatvamasi Rajan .

I shall be much obliged if anyone has anuvaadam of this hymn
in tamil. If it is a priced publication, I will pay for it.

Thanks and regards,

N.R.Ranganathan.​

Have found it explained here at: blog.shastranethralaya.org/?paged=2

which is the blog of Dravidacharya Ramakrishnan Swamiji. When discussing about it
was wondering what the Pramana of this Shloka/incident is ie., where does this Shloka appear?
Is it taken from any Shankara Vijayam?

If N.R.R or anyone else has more information about this Shloka, kindly post it.
