Tamil is known to be so intertwined that it can be said to be the language of devotion. Tamil was very helpful in the promotion of religion. That's why literature grows. Religion also developed, and the two great religions, Saivism and Vaishnavism, created separate literature emphasizing their own doctrines and the doctrine of God. Saivism consists of Panniru Thirumuraikal and fourteen shastra books, which are holy shastra texts that propagate its ideology. Manickavasagar's Thiruvasagam and Thirukkovaiyar are praised as the eighth Thirumarai. The famous Thiruvasagam written by Manickavasagar, can be said to be a treasure trove of gracious tears. It can be said that all thiruvasagam songs are a collection of various kinds of literature, such as precious pearls.
