Tirunarayur Nambiyandar Nambi was an eleventh-century Shaiva scholar of Tamil Nadu in South India who compiled the hymns of Sampantar, Appar and Sundarar and was himself one of the authors of the eleventh volume of the canon of the Tamil liturgical poetry of Shiva, the Tirumurai.〔"A twelve-book collection of hymns and writings of South Indian saints, compiled by saint Nambiyandar Nambi (ca 1000)", Page 840, Dancing with Siva: Hinduism's Contemporary Catechism, By Master Subramuniya, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, Published 2003 by Himalayan Academy Publications, ISBN 0-945497-96-2〕 ==Birth and life== Nambiyandar was born in the town of Tirunaraiyur into the tradition of the Adi Shaivites, brahmin priests in the temples of Lord Shiva.〔(A web page on Nambi's life gives more details on him )〕 The great Chola emperor Rajaraja〔(A web page on Rajaraja Chola talks about his relationship with Nambi )〕 requested him to collect the hymns of the three great poet-saints Sampantar, Appar and Suntarar. Nambi managed to get palm-leaf manuscripts of the hymns, though some had been eaten away by termites. They were able to recover around ten percent of the entire set of hymns. Nambi also wrote a memoir of the lives of the sixty-three great devotees mentioned by Cuntarar; the ''Tiruttondar Tiruvandhadhi''. His hymns in praise of Sampantar and Appar provide some biography of those saints.
