Each name in the list starts with prefix â€�Omâ€� followed by the Siddhar’s names and ends with refrain â€�Thiruvadigal Potriâ€�. For example for Umapathi: ஓமà¯� உமாபதி சிவாசà¯à®šà®¾à®°à®¿à®¯à®¾à®°à¯ திரà¯à®µà®Ÿà®¿à®•ள௠போறà¯à®±à®¿ [Åm ³Ü³¾Äå±è²¹³Ù¾± civÄccÄriyÄr tiruvaá¹ikaá¸� pÅṟṟi].—These Siddhas experienced union with the ultimate reality and witnessed a spiritual transformation of their intellectual, mental, vital and ultimately, physical bodies.

: Wikipedia: India HistoryUmapathi Shivachariyar (13th�14th century CE) was a Tamil poet and scholar. He celebrated the life of the Saivite saint Sekkizhar in his 1313 CE work called Sekkizhar Nayanar Puranam. In 1323 CE, Umapathi authored the work Sankarpa Nirakaranam. This is known by his indication of the year as Sagam 1235 within the work of Sankarpa Nirakaranam. This translates to 1323 CE in the modern Gregorian calendar. In one of his venpa poetries named "Valluvar Seer", Umapathi mentions about Parimelalhagar indicating his commentary of the Tirukkural. This indicates that Parimelalhagar lived before Shivachariyar.

Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
