In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: academia.edu: Dvādaśa-mūrti in Tamil TraditionMaturakavi (மதுரகவி) was the disciple of Nammāḻvār.—[...] Nammāḻvār was by birth a veḷḷāḷa (landlord or serf). He is considered a manifestation of Viṣvaksena, Tamil Cēṉai-mutaliyār. His disciple was Maturakavi, a Brāhmaṇa. Born in Kurukūr (modern Āḻvārtirunakari), a majestic temple of the Nāyaka period is today found in this city-like-village.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
