Idiappam,
I didn't bring all seven thirumurais with me to US. I have mudhal thirumurai ( by sambandhar). I started browsing to see whether it will shed any light about life at that time. It clearly indicates that names of places were translated into Sanskrit and back ( in some cases). Mayiladuthurai is one example. When I lived in that town it was called Mayavaram. I think it was changed to Mayuram after the 60s (not sure). Now it is Mayiladuthurai. There are eleven verses and in all of them it is Mayiladuthurai. But, Thiruvidaimarudhur seems to have remained the same. In all eleven verses it is ' idai marudhu'. It is also known as madhyaarjunam in Sanskrit. I will post more as I browse more.
