Nambi Andar Nambi compiled the first seven volumes by Appar, Sampandhar and Sundarar as "Tevaram" during the 12th century. During the course of time, a strong necessity was felt by scholars to compile Saiva literature to accommodate other works. "Tiruvacakam" and "Tirukovayar" by Manickavasagar are included as the eighth, nine parts are compiled as the ninth "Tirumurai" out of which most are unknown, and the tenth as "Tirumandiram" by Tirumular, the famous "Siddhar". The eleventh is compiled by Karaikal Ammaiyar, Cheraman Perumal and others. The contemporary Chola king was impressed by the work of Nampi and included Nampi's work in the eleventh "Tirumurai". Sekkizhar's "Periya Puranam", composed a century later, contains the life depiction of all the 63 "Nayanmars". The response for the work was so tremendous among Saiva scholars and Kulothunga Chola I that it was included as the 12th "Tirumurai". "Tirumurai" along with "Vedas" and "Saiva agamas" form the basis of "Saiva Siddantha" philosophy in Tamil Nadu.

Banjaranama The Banjaranama (بنجارانامہ, बंजारानामा, "Chronicle of the Nomad") is a famous satirical Urdu poem, written by the eighteenth-century sub-continental poet Nazeer Akbarabadi. The poem's essential message is that pride in worldly success is foolish, because human circumstances can change in a flash, material wealth and splendor is always transient, and death is the only certainty for all men. The poem quickly captured the popular imagination, and achieved fame in the Indian subcontinent that has lasted for over two centuries. Critics have observed that, despite the deliberate simplicity of its language, the poem's idioms and imagery were dazzling in their span, and portrayed lives of wealth and power as ultimately subject to a nomad's whims (an allusion to death). The poem continues to be hailed as distilling ""the teachings of thousands of years into one summary form"."
