Avvaiyar II lived during the period of Kambar and Ottakkuttar during the reign of the Cholas in the 13th century. She is often imagined as an old but intelligent lady by Tamil and primarily referred by them as Auvai. Avvaiyar II wrote many of the poems that remain very popular even now and are inculcated in school text books in the State of Tamil Nadu. These books include a list of dos and donts, useful for daily life, arranged in simple and short sentences. Abithana Chintamani states that there were three female poets in the name of Avvaiyar.
