| This aazhvaar studied several schools of
philosophy including, sankyam, samaNam, and
saivam. For a while he followed saivam and
was known as sivavaakkiyar. However, he
----to be filled-----as the aazhvaar entered a house in a
village called perumpuliyoor, a group of
brahmins chanting the vEdhaas, abruptly
stopped. Since the aazhvaar belonged to a
shudra caste the brahmins did not want him to
hear their chants. Understanding their
dilemma, aazhvaar moved away from there. But
the brahmins lost the place where they
stopped and could not resume. Noticing their
difficulty the aazhvaar gave a hint and the
brahmins could then resume the chanting.
Afterwards, realizing their narrow
mindedness, the brahmins sought the
forgiveness of the aazhvaar.
