Manickavasgar was the king's prime minister and renounced his post in search of divinity. The king bestowed his minister to buy horses, but he was taken to divinity by the vision of Siva with his saints. The minister spent his entire sum of money in building the temple at Thiruperunturai, considered an architectural marvel among Hindu temples. From the time, the saint poet wandered to various temples and devoted hymns on Siva. His conversion is attributed to Sivagnana bodham, an saivite work by Meykandar. He was an orthodox saivite and represents bhakti at its highest form in his age. (: திருபெருந்துறை), also known as, is a Shiva temple where Thiruvasagam is believed to have been originated.

There are 658 poems in the work and along with 400 poems in Tirukovayar by the same author make it the 8th volume of Tirumarai - the 12 volume Saiva canon. The author finds both theistic and pantheistic ideas corresponding to medieval India, but identifies God with the universe. Manickavasagar often finds himself unworthy of lord Shiva being his saviour. 'கடையவனேனைக் கருணையினால் கலந்து, ஆண்டுகொண்ட விடையவனே '.
It is said that this made lord Shiva feel sorry for Vasagar and bless him. As a devotional literature, it finds alternatives between joy and sorrow. Thiruvempavai 'Tiruvempavai' - the early morning wake up songs sung for Lord Shiva on Tamil month Margazhi are part of Tiruvasakam.Tiruvempavai songs were composed in. In Thailand, an annual ceremony known as Triyampavai-Tripavai was held in major cities until 1935, when it was abolished for safety reasons. The name of the ceremony was derived from the names of Thiruvempavai and (a Vaishnavite hymn by ).
It is known that Thiruvempavai verses — poet pratu sivalai ('opening the portals of Shiva's home') — were recited at this ceremony, as well as the of the. According to T.P. Meenakshisundaram, the name of the festival indicates that Thiruppavai might have been recited as well. Compilation (985-1013 CE) embarked on a mission to recover the hymns after hearing short excerpts of Tevaram in his court. He sought the help of Nambi Andar Nambi, who was a priest in a temple. It is believed that by divine intervention Nambi found the presence of scripts, in the form of cadijam leaves half eaten by white ants in a chamber inside the second precinct in.
The brahmanas in the temple opposed the mission, but Rajaraja intervened by consecrating the images of the saint-poets through the streets of Chidambaram. Rajaraja thus became to be known as Tirumurai Kanda Cholan meaning one who saved the Tirumurai. Thus far Shiva temples only had images of god forms, but after the advent of Rajaraja, the images of the Nayanar saints were also placed inside the temple.
Nambi arranged the hymns of three saint poets Sambandhar, Appar and Sundarar as the first seven books, 's as the 8th book, the 28 hymns of nine other saints as the 9th book, the of as the 10th book, 40 hymns by 12 other poets as the 10th book, Tirutotanar Tiruvanthathi - the sacred anthathi of the labours of the 63 nayanar saints and added his own hymns as the 11th book. The first seven books were later called as Tevaram, and the whole Saiva canon, to which was added, as the 12th book, 's Periya Puranam (1135 CE) is wholly known as Tirumurai, the holy book. Translation works on Thiruvasagam. Manikkavacakar, Author of Thiruvasagam There is a famous saying “ ' திருவாசகத்துக்கு உருகார் ஒரு வாசகத்திற்கும் உருகார்' ” translating to 'He whose heart is not melted by Thiruvasagam cannot be melted by any vasagam(saying)'. Was born on 24 April 1820 on in. He became interested in and learned the language during a six-month ship voyage to India.
His magnum opus, an English translation of Thiruvasagam, appeared in 1900.

The remarks made in the introduction to VII will apply in Some degree to this poem also, which is traditionally said to have been composed at the same place and time by the bard, who seeing women in great numbers enjoying their favorite game of Ammanai and accompanying it a simple song, listened to their words, and then put the substance into these verses. In some of them He relates his own experiences: In others he puts words into their mouths In the play the women, generally six in number, sit in a circle and toss a number of little balls from one to another with great dexterity and very swiftly. It is a pretty sight. They accompany their game a simple song, the rhythm of which is suited to the action of the players.
In this case there are twenty verses of six lines, each verse having but a single rhythm. The subject of such verse.
Generally some heroic exploits, such as are popular among all classes; or the great acts of a deity. Here the title of ‘rapturous joy’ has been prefixed, as the editor seems to have conceived that as the main idea of the verses. 1) His advent as Guru. The Foot Great Mal, the fiery-eyed, delved down, but failed to reach His foot’s expanding flower! To earth that foot came down, Our birth’ cut off, made those like us His own.-Lord of The south-land is clustering cocoa-groves, and Perun-turrai’s shrine, And Tillai’s sacred court,-a sage He came, call’d me in grace’ And gave release. SING we His foot whence mercy flows! AMMANAY, SEE!
6 —- 1-6. Here there are four lending ideas: 1) Civan rising as the mountain Arunachalam passed above and below the roaring flight of BrahmA and the delvings of Vishnu; 2) this same Caiva graciously manifested Himself as a GURU to the humble, loving bard in order to release him from further metempsychosis; 3) He is also worshipped in the temple of Perun-turai, His great southern-shrine, where the saint first knew Him; and 4) in the sacred court of Tillai He dwells, a BrAhman, one of the 3000 saints, the mystic Dancer and Dispenser of grace. There the sage is to obtain his consummation.
These four ideas perpetually recur in these poems. This is un unfailing topic treated with inexhaustible variety. 2) Manifestations To men on earth, to heavenly ones, to those beneath, To those beyond, He’s scarce made known; to us accessible! The Name revered, the South-King, Perun-turrai’s Lord Entering our souls, with frenzy filled them, showed the final way.
Unsating Nectar, – in the billowy sea He cast His net; The Sea of full desire SING we! AMMAANAY, SEE! 12 — Civan cast His net, is a fisherman. This refers to a story in the fifty-seventh of the osacred sports’. PArvathi was one day inattentive while Civan was expounding to her the Vedic mysteries, for which she was condemned by her angry husband and preceptor to be born on earth as a wife of a fisherman. Accordingly one day she was discovered lying as a tender infant under a Pinnai tree or Punnai, Calophyllam Inophyllam by the headman of the Paravar, a great clan of fisherman found everywhere along the coasts of the Tamil lands. By him she was adopted, and grew up a maiden of surpassing beauty.
At this time Nandi the Chamberlain of Civan, in order to bring about the accomplishment of the god’s purpose with regard to the banished Parvathi, assumed the form of a monstrous shark; and in various ways annoyed the poor fishermen, breaking their nets and wrecking their boats. On this the headman of the paravars issued a proclamation that whoever should catch the sea-monster should be rewarded with the hand of his beautiful adopted daughter. Civan forthwith made his appearance as a youth of noble aspect who had come from Madura, and at the first throw of his net caught the shark and brought it to land. He accordingly, having himself become a fisherman, received the fisherman’s daughter in marriage. The god now assumed his ancient form, and restored parvathi to hers, and with many gracious words took the foster father with Him to Kailacham, the paradise of Silver Hill. —————————————————————————– 3) The Initiation in Perun-turrai Inthiran, MAl, all the other heavenly ones, Stood round in upper air; – Civan in grace to earth came down, Made those like us His own. His arm the sacred ashes shows; All-glorious Perun-turrai’s Lord, who comes our hearts to thrill; To loose our bonds He on a charger rode, and gave Unending raptures; SING the bliss!
AMMAANAY, SEE! 18 4) He chose not the ascetics, but me!
The gods who filled the heavens, – MAl, Ayan, Indra too, Sore penance did, like anthills stood, yet know Him not! To me a cur He came, with mother-love He lent His aid; In flesh He came, with trembling rapture thrilled me through – Honied ambrosia’s Essence pure; the jewell’d foot That trends the skies in gleaming light SING we! AMMAANAY, SEE! 24 5) His grace to me all unworthy. The Mighty One, the South-King, Perun-turrai’s Lord, Me vilest cur, of mind untaught, with frenzy filled; Kneaded the stone, made it sweet fruit; plunged in the flood Of mercy; all my sin destroyed. To Him, the Sage, Who Tillai’s city entering, in the sacred court abides, The ancient Rider of the Bull, SING we!
AMMAANAY, SEE! 30 6) Civan, a ‘false’ mendicant And hast thou heard, my friend, how-one with falsehood came? The Lord of Perun-turrai’s southern shrine begirt With storied walls, showed things ne’er shown before, showed bliss, Showed us His lotus foot, and honey of His grace; – While rustics laughed, – that we the heavenly home might gain, He made us His; SING we this grace! AMMAANAY, SEE!
