Sadaiya Nayanar
Sadaiya Nayanar (also spelled as Chadaiya Nayanar, Sataiya Nayanar) - 7th century, also known as Sadaya Nayanar, Sadaiyan (Cataiyan), Sadaiyanar (Cataiyanar) is the father of Sundarar, one of the most prominent Nayanar saints. He is himself regarded as a Nayanar saint, venerated in the Hindu sect of Shaivism, along with her wife Isaignaniyar. He is generally counted as the sixty-second in the list of 63 Nayanars, Isaignaniyar being the last Nayanar. Sundarar is the only Nayanar with both his parents enlisted as Nayanars. The inclusion of Sadaiya Nayanar, streams solely on the basis on her association with Sundarar, rather than individual merit.
==Life==
Little is known about Sadaiya Nayanar. The Tamil ''Periya Puranam'' by Sekkizhar (12th century), which is the hagiography of the 63 Nayanars and the primary source about their life, dedicates just a hymn to him, naming his son Sundarar and wife Isaignaniyar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Puranam of Sataiya Nayanar )〕 Besides being mentioned in his own one-verse chapter in Sekkizhar's hagiography, Sadaiya Nayanar also appears in the main chapter of the text, which narrates the legend of his son Sundarar, who is regarded as the hero of the ''Periya Puranam''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Puranam of Intercession )〕 Sadaiya Nayanar, his wife as well as his ancestors are described as devout devotees of the god Shiva, the patron god of Shaivism. Sadaiya Nayanar and his wife lived in Tirunavalur, in the kingdom of Thirumunaipadi, in the present-day Indian state of Tamil Nadu. They belonged to Adi Shaiva sub-sect of Shaivism and belonged to the Brahmin (priest) caste. The father of Sadaiya Nayanar is named as Arurar in the text. It is said that Sadaiya Nayanar had brought many virtues in his previous birth and was thus blessed by Shiva to have an illustrious son Sunadarar. Sadaiya Nayanar names his son - who would be later known as Sundarar - Nambi Arurar (a name found in many of Sundarar's verses), after his own father. He and his wife are said to have lived an ideal Grihastha (householder's) life. Narasinga Muniyaraiyar, the chieftain of Thirumunaipadi and a Nayanar saint, once met the child Nambi Arurar and was impressed by him. The chieftain asked Sadaiya Nayanar for consent for adoption of his son, which he readily gave. Sundarar grew up in luxury in the home of his foster-father. The Hindu spiritual guru Sivananda Saraswati (1887 – 1963) praises the non-attachment to ''samsara'' and the worldly things, which he demonstrates by giving away his child without hesitation.〔
As Nambi Arurar grew up and attained a marriageable age, Sadaiya Nayanar started searching for a suitable wife for his son. Sadaiya Nayanar sent a delegation of elders to Sadangkavi of Putthoor - a Shaiva Brahmin like Sadaiya Nayanar - to ask for his daughter's hand for Nambi Arurar. After deliberations with the elders, Sadangkavi agreed to the match and conveyed his acceptance of the marriage proposal via the elders to Sadaiya Nayanar. On the anointed way, the bridegroom and his wedding party reached Putthoor, however Shiva appears as an aged Brahmin and breaks the wedding and takes Nambi Arurar to Thiruvennainallur, arguing Nambi Arurar is his bonded labour as per a contract signed by his grandfather Arurar.〔〔
