page 160 note 1 One of the hymn-makers in that collection is Sundaramūrti Nāyanār, who may be referred even to the ninth century. The Tamil Periyapurāṇam, which belongs to the twelfth or thirteenth century, mentions the fact that this Nayanar was a contemporary of Chēraman Perumal, the last of the rulers of United Kērala. The Perumal and the Nāyanār are said to have died about the same time in a miraculous fashion. There is evidence to believe with Mr. Logan that the Perumaḷ died about a.d. 825.
