About
A Collection of hymns from the Tamil hymn compendiums called Devaram and Tiruvachagam. The first of these is held to be canonical by the Tamil saivites. The hyms of the Devaram were composed by 3 authors- Sambandar, appariswami and sundaramurti and written between the 6th and 8th centuries A.D. The Tiruvachagam was composed by Manikya Vachaka at an uncertain date. This book is a collection of 136 stanzas and offers a short note on the poets before the start of their hymns. This book is a reprint of the 1921 edition.
