'''Irattaipulavar''' (meaning The twin poets) or '''Irattaiyar''' were brothers born in [[Tirumaanturai|Alandurai]] of [[Chola Nadu]] during 14th century in the [[Sengunthar|Sengunthar Kaikola Mudaliar]] community . The elder, called Mudhusuriyar 'Old Sun' was born lame; the younger, Ilanjchuriyar 'Young Sun,' was blind.<ref name="Mahalingam">{{cite book|last=Mahalingam|first=T.

They were contemporaries of [[:ta:காளமேகம்|Kalamega pulavar]]<br />

There were hundreds of tanippatals (meaning solitary stanzas) composed by The Twins in this way to meet about emergencies. They had composed Ekambaranatharula celebrating the famous Saiva shrine in [[Kanchi]], the Tillaikkalampakam of 100 stanzas, added with kappuvenpa on [[Chidambaram Nataraja Temple|Lord Nataraja]] of [[Chidambaram]], which was interesting and important for the history of the Tamil language. Their Amatturkkalampakam contains 101 stanzas apart from a kappuviruttam.<br />
