The Colas c34.11

c34.11

Kallāḍanār was fully acquainted with the cycle of Śaiva legends centring round Madura, and refers to the miracles wrought by Śiva on account of Māṇikkavāśagar, Darumi, Iḍaikkāḍar and others. It is probable that the *Tirukkaṇṇappadēvar Tirumaram* included in the eleventh section of the Śaiva canon was also his work. There is no definite evidence on the age of the *Kallāḍam*; it may be as early as the tenth century, or it may be much later. It is a safe assumption that in any case it belongs to the age of the Imperial Cōḷas.
