  • Перияальвар — тамильский вайшнавский святой, принадлежавший к группе 12 поэтов-подвижников альваров. Предположительно, Перияльвар жил в VI—IX веках. Он родился в брахманской семье в городе , что в современном округе Мадурай. При рождении родители дали ему имя Вишнучиттар, которое в переводе означает «тот, кто постоянно думает о Вишну». Согласно легенде, он отказался от ведийских философских дебатов и начал следовать пути бхакти, выполняя простое служение для Вишну. Например, он делал гирлянды для украшения храмовых божеств. Однажды царь династии Паллава устроил при дворе философские дебаты между учёными брахманами. Победу в дебатах одержал Вишнучиттар. Он сумел доказать, что путь к мокше лежит через преданное служение Богу. (ru)
