Nandanar and Yaazhpaanar - Wonderful Article

We have discussed in the past about Nandanar sarithiram.
We all are used to this story...
But, this article is analyzing it in the 'Periya puranam' perspective, which
is the original text based on which all the stories were written upon.

A wonderful article, well researched and well quoted from periya puranam.
A good read

Thanks Satish:
1. the story in Periyapuranam is totally different. The nandan Charitram by Gopalakrishna Bharathiyar ( 18th cent) only gained popularity ( which dramatised the story) and the cinema is also based on that story.
2. There is a myth that Sundurur sung only one line on nandanar. In fact Sundarar sung only one line for all. Only Appar and Sambandar were given 3 lines. Refer the song.

7th thirumurai - 39th song
3. Will any onegive Thiruppanazhwar story .
4. There is an epigrap of srirangam and the signatories belong to all castes, which means that all castes had rights in temples.
