The greatest Tamil (South Indian) poet, author of the epic poem Irāmāvatāram. He lived in the late 12th century. Dates of birth and death unknown. He was active during the Chola dynasty, when Aryan culture reached its peak in South India. His work is modeled on the Sanskrit epic Ramayana (by Balmiki), but it is not merely a translation of it. It is a masterpiece of Tamil literature, inheriting the lyric character of Sangam literature, the high morality of the Kural collection of proverbs, and the religious fervor of the Nayanars and Alwars.

タミル(南インド)最高の詩人で,叙事詩《ラーマの降臨Irāmāvatāram》の作者。12世紀後半の人。生没年不詳。アーリヤ文化の南インドへの浸透が最高潮に達したチョーラ王朝のころに活躍した。彼の作品は,サンスクリットの叙事詩《ラーマーヤナ》(バールミーキ作)をモデルとしているが,それの単なる翻訳にとどまらず,サンガム文学の抒情的性格,箴言集〈クラルKural〉の高い倫理性,ナーヤナールやアールワールの宗教的情熱を受け継いだタミル長編文学の最高傑作となっている。
