"Naarayanam,Padmabhuvam,Vashistam,Sakthim cha, that putra Parasaram cha :
Vyasam,Sukham,Gowdapadham mahantham,Govinda Yogeendram,Adhasya Sishyam :
Sri Sankaracharyam athasya Padmapadham cha,Hasthamalakam cha sishyam:
Tham Thaotakam,Varthika karam,asyan Gurun santhatham aanadoshmi:"


This is a beautiful Guru Vandhana sloka giving the lineage of Gurus starting from Narayana(Siva and Vishnu are same), Brahma(Padmabhuvam),Sakthi,Parasaram,Vyasar,
Sukabrahmam,Gowdapathar,Govinda Bhagavath padar,then Aadi Sankara and his disciples Padmapathar,Hasthamalakar,Thotakachariar and Varthika karar.

Few years back,I read this in one of Periava's lectures and got fascinated by
this .
It is in my daily prayer slokas ever since.
