The date of this writer is App. III. Unknown, but he is believed by some to have lived in the Karisal- Kadu, or black cotton soil country, in the northern part of Tinnevelly. In the Northern Tamil country I have always heard Parimelalagar represented to have been a Brahman, but some Pandits in Tinnevelly — not themselves Shanars — maintain that he was a Shanar guru. Others assert that he was neither a Brahman nor a Shanar, but a Vellala. Niti-nen -v ifakkam . IV. Perhaps the latest of the Tinne...velly literary celebrities was the author of the Niti-neri-vilakkam, a work consisting of ethical stanzas, arranged more or less after the fashion of the Kural and the Naladiyar. These stanzas have secured themselves a good place in general estimation, but few of them rise to the highest order of originality and merit. They are frequently made use of in University examinations. The author was a Saiva ascetic, a Vellala by caste, called Kumara-guru-pai-a-Tambiran. Tambiran, his lordship, is the usual title of the head of a Saiva monastery.
