Hinduism - What Is The Tiruttontar Puranam?

 

Tiruttontar Puranam ("the narrative of Shiva's holy slaves").

Another term for the Periya Purana, a twelfth-century figure Cekkilar's hagiographical narrative (an idealizing biography of saints or revered individuals) of the lives of the sixty-three Nayanars.

In the seventh and eighth centuries, the Nayanars were a group of Shaiva poet-saints who lived in southern India.

See Periya Purana.
