Thevarams are devotional hymns sung in praise of Shiva by the 3 Nayanmars: Sambandar, Thirunavukkarasar and Sundarar. Rendered in an ancient musical style that precedes most Indian classical music systems, these songs give us an insight into the wave of bhakti that swept across southern India during the 7th Century.

Thillai vazh andhanar

This is a Thiruthondar thogai (a sacred list) or an ode to the devotees of Shiva, and the Dikshitars at Thillai Nataraja Temple. Sundarar is credited with first having spoken about Nayanmars in this Thevaram, based upon which an entire epic was later written by Sekkizhar about the life of Nayanmars – The Periyapuranam. In this Thevaram, Sundarar praises all the 63 Nayanmars in his unique way, and bows down to these devotees of Shiva.
