_____________________________________________________________________________________ Notes:

Ceekali has twelve names of which Piramapuram is one; as Piraman worshiped the Lord, with his consort the goddess of learning, itgot the name of Pi ramapuram.Piramapuram: the long letter is used to suit the metre. The fact that Piraman worshiped the Lord in Ceekali is mentioned in other

decades of Nanacampantar.Many scholars have written elaborate commentaries on this one stanza. The circumstances in which this patikam was sung is

described in detail in Periya Puranam, Tirunanacampantar Puranam, verses 53-80.Thodu – an ear stud usually worn by women. Since the consort of Siva resides permanently on the left side of His body, this side

sports the thodu and the other ear sports the Kuzhai, the ear stud worn by men.Piramapuram – one of the 12 names of the holy town Sirkazhi. So ca lled because Brahma worshipped Siva here.
