He is believed to have lived between 15th and 17th centuries. His songs are sung by the popular masses of Tamilnādu even today, because of his ‘cintu’ type of versification composed in folk-song meter and mostly in twilight language.
Pāmbu literally means a serpent and Pāmbāṭṭi means the snake-charmer who makes the snakes to dance. In the poems of the Siddha, the coiled power (kuṇḍaliniśakti) is often personified as a serpent. In all his 129 poems, the Siddha exhorts the serpent to dance, realizing the greatness of the Supreme Lord Śiva.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
