Select the original name of Manika Vasagar :

  • A.Vadavurar
  • B.Tayumanavar
  • C.Adiyarkkunallar
  • D.Andal

Answer: A

The original name of Manikkavasagar, the Saivite saint who wrote the Tiruvasagam, was Vadavurar, because he was a native of Vadavur. Manikkavasagar means the one whose words are like rubies, a title given to him later. Tayumanavar is a later Tamil saint-poet, Adiyarkkunallar is the commentator on the Silappadikaram, and Andal is the woman poet-saint of the Vaishnava tradition. The keyed answer is Vadavurar.
