Appar Tirunavukkarasar Nayanar padalgal
Appar Tirunavukkarasar Nayanar (Tamil: திருநாவுக்கரசர், Tirunāvukkaracar, lit. "King of the Tongue, Lord of Language"), also known as Navukkarasar and Appar (lit. "Father"), was a seventh-century Śaiva Tamil poet-saint, one of the most prominent of the sixty-three Nayanars. He was an older contemporary of Thirugnana Sambandar.
His birth-name was Marulneekkiyar. He was called "father" by Sambandar, hence the name Appar.
Sundarar states in his Tiruttondartokai that Appar composed 4900 hymns of ten or eleven verses each.
This statement is repeated by Nambiyandar Nambi and Sekkizhar, but only 313 hymns are known today.
These hymns are collected into the Tirumurai. Within the Tirumurai, the compositions of Appar, Sundarar and Thirugnana Sambandar are collected within their own volumes, called Tevaram.
