Thirunavukkarasar, also known as Appar, was a 7th-century Tamil Shaiva poet-saint & the most prominent of 63 Nayanars. He was a contemporary of Sambandar. Thirunavukkarasar means 'The king of speech/words'. When he was born his parents named him Marunikkiyar.

The kingdom Thirumunaippadi, situated on the banks of Thenpennai. It was here both Thirunavukkarachar & Sundharar were born. In the town called Thiruvamur, there lived a farmer couple Pukazanar and Madhiniyar. They had a daughter named Thilakavathiyar and a boy, named Marunikkiyar (remover of illusion).

When Thilakavathiyar was 12, the local army chief Kalippakaiyar wanted to marry her. Before the marriage could be conducted, war broke out with the king of the north & Kalippakaiyar became martyr in the battlefield. Thilakavathiyar wanted to end her life. But, Marunikkiyar persuaded her away from it & she continued leading a pious life.

Marunikkiyar involved himself in various charities. The thought about the uncertainty in life took him to the religions & was attracted by the non-violence of Jainism. He went to Patalipuththiram (Kadalur) famous for the Jain institutions & learned the Jain scriptures with zeal & was praised for his knowledge by the Jains. They awarded him the title Dharma Senar. He won the Buddhists in debates on philosophy & the Jain groups were happy to have such a meritorious leader.

In the meanwhile, Thilakavathiyar worshiped of Lord Shiva at Thiruvadhikai praying to Lord to rescue her younger brother from the ignorance & show him the right path. The Lord appeared in her dream & said that he would bring Marunikkiyar to the right path, by giving chulai (a terrible stomach pain). Dharma Senar got unbearable pain in his stomach & no medicine could mitigate the pain. With raising pain & no help at hand, Dharma Senar approached his loving adorable sister. He submitted himself to his sister. Praising the glory of Lord Shiva she welcomed him saying "It is the grace of Lord Siva that brought you back, Surrender yourself to Him and serve Him".

The next day she took him to the temple for the early morning pooja 'Thirupalliezuchchi'. Prostrating to the Lord he felt the urge to sing & sang his first Thevaram "Kurrayinavaru Vilakkakilir". He was immediately freed of his illness and there heared a voice, "As you sang the beautiful hymns enriched with nice words of excellent meaning, let your name be praised in the worlds as Navukkarachu".

If with one song the God himself says that he is the king of words, what could be the greatness of his hymns ! Devotees remember Thirunnvukkarachar with gratitude for the unparalleled words of devotion that are expressed through his hymns. Jain sages of Patalipuththiram were a worried lot when they came to know of the miraculous curing by the God Shiva, relief which their religion could not provide.

As per their advice, king put him through various punishments like putting him into in a burning lime kiln, feeding poison, setting a rogue elephant on him, drowning etc. None of these could do any harm to Thirunavukkarashar. In the burning kiln the sage sang "Machil vinaiyum", in front of the wild elephant he sang "Chunnaven chandhanach chandhum" & while they tried to drown him he sang "Chorrunai vedhiyan" & panchakshara - Na mah Shi va ya. The God of Sea was blessed to hold the great sage over him. The sage arrived on that rock to the town of Lord Thiruppadhirippuliyur.

The king realizing the Truth repented for his sins, denounced the Jains & surrendered to the sage who won without wars. Appar's poetry is a mixture of Jain world-view and Siva Bhakthi.
