Tirunāḷaippōvārnāyaṉār (திருநாளைப்போவார்நாயனார்) is another name for Nandanar—one of the Siddhars (Siddhas) and Rishis mentioned by Rangarasa Desiga Swamigal in his Siddhargal Potri Thoguppu. Each name in the list starts with prefix ‘Om’ followed by the Siddhar’s names and ends with refrain ‘Thiruvadigal Potri’. For example for Tirunāḷaippōvārnāyaṉār: ஓம் நந்தனார் திருவடிகள் போற்றி [ōm nantaṉār tiruvaṭikaḷ pōṟṟi].—These Siddhas experienced union with the ultimate reality and witnessed a spiritual transformation of their intellectual, mental, vital and ultimately, physical bodies.
