Arunagirinathar (Aruṇakirinātar, Tamil:[aɾuɳaɡɯɾɯn̪aːdar]) was a Tamil Shaiva[1] saint-poet who lived during the 14th century in Tamil Nadu, India. In his treatise A History of Indian Literature (1974), Czech Indologist Kamil Zvelebil places Arunagirinathar's period between circa 1370 CE and circa 1450 CE. He was the creator of Tiruppukal (Tiruppukaḻ, [tiɾupːɯɡaɻ], meaning "Holy Praise" or "Divine Glory"), a book of poems in Tamil in praise of Murugan.
His poems are known for their lyricism coupled with complex rhymes and rhythmic structures. In the Tiruppukal, the literature and devotion has been blended harmoniously.[2]
Tiruppukal is one of the major works of medieval Tamil literature, known for its poetical and musical qualities, as well as for its religious, moral and philosophical content.
