Tamil language has a special place in the history of devotional literature. Saiva Nayanmars and Vaishnava Alwars have created Tamil as the 'language of devotion' due to its wealth which they created by combining scriptures. It is no exaggeration to say that devotional literature is the greatest asset of Tamil society. Karaikalammaiyar, one of the sixty-three Nayanmars, was the originator of Saivite devotional literature. She is the one who gained freedom of soul and salvation and brought pride to the female race.
