THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN TAMIL LANGUAGE COULD FURTHER READ HIS COMPOSITIONS .........
Tirunavukkarasar (Tamil: திருநாவுக்கரசர்), (meaning King of the Tongue or Lord of Language), also known as Appar ("Father") was a seventh century Saivite Tamil poet-saint, one of the most prominent of the sixty-three Nayanars. He was an older contemporary of Sambandar. His birth-name was Marulneekkiyar: he was called "father" by Sambandhar, hence the name Appar.
Sundarar states in his Tiruttondartokai that Appar composed 4900 hymns of ten or eleven verses each, this is repeated by Nambiyandar Nambi and Sekkizhar, but only 3130 are available today.These are collected into the Tirumurai along with the compositions of Sundarar and Sambandar, Appar having his own volumes, called Tevaram.
