Tevaram The Tevaram is the collection of verses sung in praise of Shiva by the sixty-three Nayanars, most prominent among whom were three Tamil poet-saints named Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar. The former two lived in the 7th century CE while the latter around 8th century CE. All songs of the Tevaram are believed to be in sets of 10 songs (called patikam in Tamil).
