Satthanar or Chithalai Satthanar (Шаблон:Lang-ta, cītalai cāttanār) was the Tamil poet who composed the epic Manimekalai. A total of 11 verses of the Sangam literature have been attributed to Satthanar, including verse 10 of the Tiruvalluva Maalai.Шаблон:Sfn

Etymology

Pronounced Sa-tha-naar, the name is derived from (Шаблон:Lang-ta, sāttu) meaning Buddhist monk.Шаблон:Sfn Applying this principle to the name Maturai Kulavāṇikan Cāttan, the author of Manimekalai, we see that the two appellations Maturai and Kulavanikan were prefixed to his name in order to distinguish him from another poet of Maturai with the same name and from a third who lived elsewhere. Several examples could be cited of this system of nomenclature which prevailed during the early days.Шаблон:Sfn
