Pallava King - Aiyadigal Kadavarkon Nayanar

Abstract

Thiruvalluvar says that a person who lives in world will be respected as a deity if he does not live like animals but lives according to the ways in which he should live. Religion is a classification of ways to live according to this. Religion - the discipline or morality in which the soul of man is fit to reach God. It guides human society to live in a better way. The aim of such a religion is to reach God. The life of the world is full of falsehood and its cause of ignorance and the consequent misery. The goal of religious life is to replace them with truth, knowledge and happiness. In the world of Saivism, 63 Nayanmars worked for the flourishing of Saivism. In the Periya Puranam Sekkizhar sums up the fact that the various tribes from the king to the Andi are placed in one position by the commonality of Sivanadiyar. They performed various Shiva services and rose to prominence.

There were twelve Nayanmars in the Chera, Chola, Pandya, Pallavas, Kalabhras and feudatory kings. Among the sixty-three Nayanmars, many were kings and later transformed to great devotees of Lord Shiva. One of them was Aiyadigal Kadavarkon. The purpose of this article is to study the history of Aiyadigal Kadavarkon who wrote Sekshatra (Sivathali) Tiruvenpa, the fifth literature of the eleventh Thirumurai.
