Yes I am aware of it and using it regularly. But it does not contain any discussion. what I am proposing is a literary discussion on it. For example in one of the thiruppugazh songs he uses the word " Sabash" which in my word is not a tamil word. In another place he address Murugan as " raavuththene" which needs some expalanation

Would you please name these songs where these words occured. We can roll things out, then.

Arunagirinathar lived during the 13th century, when the literary language of the land was heavily contaminated by Sanskrit.

Some sound totally Sanskrit and some of his songs have almost no Sankrist words - like 'allivizhiyaalum'. Hear that song, Chinmaya Sisters.

The prescence of Sanskrit words do not diminish thirupugazh in anyway.It is a highly devotional work towards Lord Murugan.Lord himself has accepted it and there is no need for us to make comments on what language words have been used by Arunagirinathar.

I thought Arunagirnathar lived in the 15th century.I really love the songs of tirupugazh sung by carnatic musicians.Neyveli Santhanagopalan sings the tirupugazh every year at Vadapalani temple on a festival day devoted to Lord Murugan.

Idiappam,
This topic was discussed in Agathiyar recently. Here's the verses quoted by Pas

Nice to see this thread about Thirupugaz...

Wish to mention that Shri Raghavan Guruji from Delhi has done yeoman service to spread Thirupugaz through Vazipaatu mandram... and the tree has grown extensively across our country. Shri Raghavan has composed tunes in carnatic ragas for the various thirupugaz songs and its being taught through various Students in India.
Before Raghavan Guruji, it was Sri Vallimalai Swamigal who was instrumental in unearthing the Thirupugaz treasure

I wish we get more and more exchange of interesting and useful information about Thirupugaz through this thread...
