	Vartiklis: Auvaiyar
		Auvaiyar į iekvieną atsakė daina - "skurdas yra sunku, sunkiau tik skurdas jaunystėje, dar sunkiau netikintis sutuoktinis ir sunkiausi imti maistą, kuris nemėgsta tavęs.
		Vieną diena Auvaiyar išvydo, kaip jos draugai karalius Čeremaną bei Sundaramurthi kyla į Kailas.
		Auvaiyar tuo metu atlikinėjo pudža Ganešai ir pradėjo skubėdama berti mantrą.

	Auvaiyar - ஒளவையார்
		Auvaiyar Ma was a contemporary and close associate of two noble Siva bhaktas, Sundarar and Seraman Perumal, ruler of the Chera kingdom, both extolled as great Saiva saints in Sekkilar's epic hagiography, the Periyapuranam.
		Auvaiyar Ma thus is transported in bliss at the vision of the wish-fulfilling elephant-faced form of Vinayaka.
		Saint Auvaiyar's outpourings, embodied in the purest form of poesy, tug at our heart strings, as her worship of the image of Ganapati transcends from the physical and subtle phases to the state of supreme awareness of Oneness.

		The earliest mention of Auvaiyar occurs in 2nd century B.C.Then she has lived in the 8th century.Again, we come across her poems in the 12th century.And finally in the 14-15th century.
		During times of invasion or faminesor fall of dynasties, Auvaiyar would have doubtleslysuffered.But her personality profile from the folk-lore and fromthe poems that she has composed, we learn that shewas always on the move; very little possessions;no relatives; no home; simple life style.She seems very stoical and Spartan in her discipline andpersonal conduct.
		Auvaiyar is the epitome of Tamilian values in theirsimplest truthful form.

	Auvaiyar
		Auvaiyar's dates are unknown; 22 of her poems praise a Tamil king, Atiyaman Netuman Anci, but we aren't sure when he lived.
		Auvaiyar appears to have been a professional bard; some bards traveled from court to court while others stayed with one ruler, praising his and his warriors' deeds and entertaining his courtiers.
		Auvaiyar seems to have spent most of her professional career at Anci's court; one early commentator described her being sent on diplomatic missions for Anci.

		She deems it fit to approach her first maxim on the topic of virtue in a very positive light.
		By not exhorting the children to disdain from performing acts of vice, she only exemplifies the need to approach them positively.
		Many parents and elders do have a pessimism when it comes to dealing with children and they must be keen to imbibe this subtlety from Auvaiyar.

	Loving Ganesha, Chapter 17: Saint Auvaiyar Ma
		Known for her intelligence and extraordinary beauty, she had many aristocratic suitors, and pressure was brought to bear for arranging her marriage.
		Faced with the impending marriage that her family would surely arrange, Auvaiyar wept and prayed before her chosen Deity, Vighneshvara, to save her from this fate: “Oh, my Lord, these people are only after my youth and beauty; but I want to dedicate myself to the Goddess of learning and to the spread of learning.
		Please take away my youth and my beauty so that I can have peace and follow my chosen way of life.” Ganesha heard her prayer, and in the days that followed her skin wrinkled, hair grayed, eyes dulled, limbs stiffened and breasts sagged.

	Tirukkural - A Comprehensive Reference
		There is also a belief that Valluvar and the great poetess Auvaiyar were siblings and it was Auvaiyar who went one step ahead of what had been said about Kural earlier.
		Idaikkadar had praised Kural with a reference that the greatness of Kural is such that Valluvar had packed inside a mustard seed, the essence of all knowledge from the broad world spanned by seven seas.
		Auvaiyar had substituted the term kadugu (mustard) by Anu (meaning an atom).

		Naturally Auvaiyar stresses the need for one to not be an iconoclast to keep burying the very foundations of nature.
		True, all tradition need not be universal truth and every tradition craves for reformation, which always comes in the form of a revolution.
		It is against these tendencies that Auvaiyar gives this caution: never do activistic foofaraws just so you get publicity to elevate yourself to a celebrity status.

	Re: piLLaiyAr
		If you claim that the Tamil poetess auvaiyAr had sung of the deity 'yAnai' [shall we say 'Anai' as in the classical Tamil], you are perhaps not referring to the Tamil sangham classics which, to my knowledge, do not have any auvaiyAr poem dedicated to Lord Murugan.
		'auvaiyAr' has suffered the same fate, as with other classical authors, in having spurious compositions attributed to her.
		I confess to have started with admiration for the kAmakOTi svAmi, on the basis of the media-managed adulations published in 1954 or so, when the svAmi visited Madras on his 'pAda-yAtrA' during the course of his grand migration from kumbakonam to kanchipuram.

		Lazy - you know me too well - it is indeed translated by AKR but this verse is attributed to Auvaiyar.
		Scholars think that the Auvaiyar of Sangam literature is the same as the woman whose short verses have become proverbial in Tamil.
		I think these are two completely different people - I mean this is not just a love poem - it clearly borders on the erotic.

		In fact I have never thought of any of our literary giants as man's voice or woman's voice.
