THIRUPPUGAZH – TAMIL MANTHRA
Thiruppugazh ( “Glory to the Lord” or “Divine glory”) is a 15th century anthology of Tamil religious songs dedicated to Murugan, the son of Shiva, written by the poet-saint Arunagirinathar. The anthology is considered one of the central works of mediaeval Tamil literature, both for its poetical and musical qualities, and for its religious, moral and philosophical content.
