Tāyumānavar (1705-1742 C.E.) is a great Śaiva saint and a living force in South Indian religious life. He was named after Tāyumānavar, the Lord enshrined in the temple at Trichy. A Vellāla by birth, he was at first attached to the temple of Vedāraṇyam (Tañjāvūr District). Being the son of Kāḍiliyappa Piḷḷai of Vedaraṇyam, a minister under Vijayaraṅga Sokkanātha Nāyaka of Madurai, Tāyumānavar succeeded to this father’s office.
