Tiruppukal

The Thiruppugazh (Tamil: திருப்புகழ், Thiruppugazh, IPA/Tamil: [tiɾupːuɡaɻ], meaning 'Holy Praise' or 'Divine Glory'),[1] sometimes spelled Tiruppugal, is a 15th-century anthology of Tamil religious songs dedicated to Murugan (Kartikeya), the son of Shiva, written by the poet-saint Arunagirinathar (Tamil: அருணகிரிநாதர், Aruṇakirinātar, [aɾuɳaɡiɾɯn̪aːdaɾ]).[2] The anthology is considered one of the central works of medieval Tamil literature, both for its poetical and musical qualities, and for its religious, moral and philosophical content.
