A couple of points:

  1. Maanikka Vaasagar was known as Vaathavuurar and he is not known as Manakkaanyachaara! Maanakanjaara naayanar is somebody else not the author o Thiruvasagam (but Maanakkanjaara Naayanaar is one of the 63 naayanmaars)
  2. Maanikka vasagar is not one of the 63 Nayanmars though he is considered one of the four leading Shaivite leaders in Tamil Nadu beloning to the period of 7-9th century CE.
  3. there is no proof he is a brahmin. I can cite internal evidence from his work that he calls himself a pulaiyan (meaning low-caste). The point is his birth-based caste is not known. I'm aware he is often said to be a brahmin.

The info is now correct. I have removed the redirect from the Manikkavasagar page. - Parthi 23:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An Apology

Hello Saivam. I'm sorry I've neglected you for so long in this wikipedia page. We've all been wroking and playing very well. I'm supposed to tell you "Well Done." And some other stuff um "Eka Seth"(?) sent a message of "nothing but giggles". This seems appropriate. Ding! And a shower of petals. For each and every. :)
Note: In some countries religion is a thing of delight and playfulness. This is not true in the United States, but it is common around the world. If you get a surprise gift, you can exclaim "I must have done something good!" Because we all gotta copy edit sometimes.
ChakDe! Don't worry, I'll be back.

P.S. There's a special gold envelope here for someone named "SeraphimBlade"? Anyone?
