Civaṉ who wears an old Kaḻal whom the devotees praise rising and making a huge sound of uttering your names in tiruvāṉmiyūr, where teh water of the sea of clear waves rises in the sea-shore gardens and in the shade of the big gardens where the bees hum noisily!
please tell me the reason for expounding the vetams to the four sages in the distant past.
