It is worth noting that occasional verse (Thani Padalgal) plays an important role in medieval literature. The Sangam scholars compiled songs. But they did not disappear in the middle Ages, and the composers were largely absent. So, we have lost lot of them. Again, in the middle Ages, scholars composed many books separately and they are all unique. This is because they are meant to clarify their personal instincts and dislikes in their lives. The each occasional verse has a wide variety of themes and genres and they were composed by many scholars. Among them Ramachandra Kavirayar and Avvaiyar are notable personalities. In this article, we will discuss the life of Ramachandra Kavirayar and Avvaiyar through their occasional verse.
