A contemporary of Venkata also was the great guru Ananda Namasivaya Pandaram, a disciple of the great Chidambaram guru, Guhainamasivaya. He was the author of Paramarahasyamalai, Chidambara venba, Annamalai venba and other works ⁷. An inscription of 1592 at Virinjipuram, North Arcot, states that Periya Errama Naik of Punnarrur granted a house for the establishment of a *matha* to this Ananda Namasivaya Pandaram ¹. His work seems to have been to supervise the offerings to be distributed among the Saiva mendicants in the Nataraja temple at Chidambaram ².
