He speaks of himself worshipping the Lord along with this great composer and going with him following the Lord-“ Panmalinta moliyavarum yanum ellam paninti-raincit tammutaiya pinpin cella”.

He describes Nanacampantar as the Lord of words full of music or a great composer of music-“ Panmalinta moliyavar”. Arurar speaks of Nanacampantar being blessed with ‘ nanam’ by the Lord at Kali.Īrurar speaks of Campantar as Kalumalavurar and speaks of him as receiving a thousand gold from the Lord: “ Kalumala urark-ku ampon ayiram kotuppar polum”. In another place also he refers to God recognizing the great service of these two saints Campantar and Appar offering coins to them: “ Tirumilalai iruntum nir tamiloticai ketkum iccaiydl kacu nittam nalkinir”. God according to Arurar was so pleased that in the presence of the people of the world, He gave him the cymbals. “Nalum innicaiyal tamil parappum Nanacampanta-nukku ulakavarmun talam intu avan patalukku irankum tanmai-yalan”:Īrurar here speaks of Nanacampantar popularizing Tamil through his music. “ Nallicai Nanacampantanum Navinukkaracarum patiya narramil malai colliyave colli ettukappan” seems to suggest this conclusion. The phrase ‘ Empiran Campantar’ as contrasted with ‘ Nampiran Tiru-mulan’, seems to suggest that Arurar thinks of Campantar as the leader of his school of thought, believing in singing hymns in praise of God. “I am the servant of the servants of my Lord Campantar who does not love anything except the feet of the Lord of the beautiful konrai flowers full of honey blossoming and bestowing fragrance and the banded bees never leaving these fresh flowers”.
