At the age of thirteen, he composed a drama named &#039;&#039;Nondi&#039;&#039; in praise of &#039;&#039;Yaneimelazhagar&#039;&#039;, the patron deity of his village. Soon afterwards, he migrated, along with his father, to Thiruvallur, where he lived for three years. From the age of fifteen, he was successively employed as the &#039;&#039;karnam&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Samprathi&#039;&#039; of two different temples in Thanjavur. At the age of twenty-five, he resigned his job and settled down at Tiruvidaimarudur where he spent the rest of his life writing poems. Aiyarappa Tambiran, the &#039;&#039;dharmakarta&#039;&#039; of the shrine at Tiruvidaimarudur was so pleased at a drama written by him in praise of the presiding deity that he honored him with the gift of a house and garden, and conferred on him the title of &#039;&#039;Kavirajaswami&#039;&#039;.
