Thirumurai (Tamil: திருமுறை, meaning holy division) is a twelve-volume compendium of songs or hymns in praise of Shiva in the Tamil language from the 6th to the 11th century CE by various poets in Tamil Nadu. Nambiyandar Nambi compiled the first seven volumes by Appar, Sampandhar and Sundarar as Tevaram during the 12th century. During the course of time, a strong necessity was felt by scholars to compile Saiva literature to accommodate other works. Tiruvasakam and Tirukovayar by Manickavasagar are included as the eighth, nine parts are compiled as the ninth Tirumurai out of which most are unknown, and the tenth as Tirumandiram by Tirumular, the famous Siddhar. The eleventh is compiled by Karaikal Ammaiyar, Cheraman Perumal and others. The contemporary Chola king was impressed by the work o

The eleventh is compiled by Karaikal Ammaiyar, Cheraman Perumal and others. The contemporary Chola king was impressed by the work of Nambi and included Nambi's work in the eleventh Tirumurai. Sekkizhar's Periya Puranam, composed a century later, contains the life depiction of all the 63 Nayanmars. The response for the work was so tremendous among Saiva scholars and Kulothunga Chola II that it was included as the 12th Tirumurai. Tirumurai along with Vedas and Saiva agamas form the basis of Saiva Siddantha philosophy in South India and Sri Lanka. (en)
  • Tirumurej (tamil. திருமுறை Tirumuṟai) – kanon religijny tamilskiego śiwaizmu, zawierający utwory o różnej długości i charakterze powstałe w okresie VI-XII w. Autorami części zawartych w Tirumurej utworów są najanmarowie. 11 z 12 ksiąg skompilował na przełomie XI i XII wieku Nambi Andar Nambi (tamil. நம்பி ஆண்டார் நம்பி Nampi Āṇṭār Nampi), także autor kilku hymnów zawartych w 11. księdze. Później dodano jako 12. księgę Wielką Puranę Sekkilara (tamil. சேக்கிழார் Cēkkiḻār), co ostatecznie zakończyło redakcję kanonu. Teksty zawarte w Tirumurej do dziś pełnią w Tamilnadu funkcję tekstów liturgicznych, stosowanych zarówno w rytuałach świątynnych, jak i domowych. Jednocześnie, choć dla wyznawców wartość estetyczna utworu często pełni funkcję drugorzędną, wiele zawartych w kanonie utworów reprezentuje sobą bardzo wysoką wartość artystyczną. (pl)
