Thevaram
Thevaram (Template:Lang-ta) refers to the collection of verses sung on the primary god of the Shaivite sect of Hindu religion, Lord Shiva by three Tamil poets (known as Saiva Kuruvars) - Thirugnana Sambanthar (aka Campantar), Tirunavukkarasar (aka Appar) and Sundaramoorthy Nayanar (aka Sundarar). The former two lived in the 7th century CE while the latter around 8th century CE. All songs in Tevaram are believed to be in sets of 10 songs (called pathikam in Tamil).
List of Vaippu Sthalam
The list of the Vaippu Sthalam is found in each verse of Tevaram that may be part of verses glorifying other temples (Paadal Petra Sthalam)[4][5][6][7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] .[13]
