For example Appar has captured the traditions of Thiruvarur in his Thevaram

"Ambalathu Mannikoothai Aaduvan Puguvadarkku Munno Pinno." See my article "Timeless Thiruvarur" at
http://www.whatisindia.com/monuments...hiruvarur.html.

He has also talked about the music and prevalence of art in Thiruvaiyaru in a different Thevaram.

That was a good start on the study of the towns mentioned in the Thevarams - Thiruvarur ->Arur!

Your quote "Ambalathu.." was interesting. Appar, in the following song says, Arur is the oldest city - origin "untraceable". The are more about that city - but the rhyme is good in this one!

--Appar 6.34.9

From 'pugai, 'pOkku' ....... to 'malar' all grouped in eights(???). Before all these came into existence (or became known) all over (8 thisai), The Lord was already there - in Thiruvaarur!

What are the eights?
