Sri Kaagapujandar, [2] according to legend, has seen many destructions of the universe(pralaya) and recreation of new one [6] [8] [9] as a crow, hence the name Kaga. Kagam in Tamil means crow. Sri Kaagapujandar is the master in the art of Immortality. [2] He is the one who obtains diksha (initiation) from Almighty Lord Shiva [2] in every era. Sri Kaagapujandar gave upadhesa (instruction) to Sri Vashistar, guru of Sri Rama as mentioned in Yoga Vasistha. [2]
Siddhar Sri Roma rishi is said to be son of Sri Kaagapujandar. [2] [10]
He was a great devotee of Lord Shree Rama and was granted the boon to see his lilas.
Sri Kaagapujandar wrote many books in Tamil, written on palm leaves; most have been lost. Those remaining were transferred onto paper with the help of siddhas and palm readers. The book Perunool kaviyam 1000 (Tamil:பெருநூல் காவியம் 1000) [11] [12] [13] has an account of most of the siddhas. Below listed the songs where the particular siddhas are mentioned.
