pattinathar ellaam sidhdhar category.... so there was never a period when he did not exist and there never will be a period when he will cease to exist....
I had visited his samaadhi (really a bad scene). I do accept the fact that pattinaththaar is a sidhdhar and he may exist even now.
But, there has to be a definite time frame in which he lived with his physical body. (Contemporary - uruthirakiriyaar(king of ujjain); both were believed to guru/sishya and stayed at Thiruvidaimarudhur). The only link where we can find is whether ilangovadigal's period is prior to pattinathaar or not ? We can find this from the verses of silappadhikaaram and pattinathar paadalagal.
BTW, is there any mention of silappadhigaaram or pattinathaar paadalgal on rrc's kalvettugal ?

maybe, i am wrong that dosha nivarthi is at thiruvidaimarudhur. because, in th''v'marudhur, the temple dharshan route itself would ensure you that you do not come out of the same brahmahathi vaasal.
