Naturally, therefore, a wrong impression was created that these negative traits belonged to him. Most of his songs (Sindhikkilen, Kandar alamgaram 60, “Oru Puzhuthum Iru sarana, Pattil Urukilai, Mangayar Sugathai etc.) referred to his negative character and expressed regret and repentance. Actually, there is no 'other side' and there is only one side of Arunagirinathar that is he was a born saint and he remained an enlightened saint all through his life. Sri Murugan Adimai has said that I have not presented the other side of the saint, the earlier stage of his life and his sister's role in turning him into spiritual side.

He addressed Muruga by relating him to Perumal (Lord Vishnu), as the Swamigal did not believe in any differences onīrought about a unity between the two schools. He composed over 16000 soul-stirring songsīut only 1400 songs have been traced so far. Visited over 216 holy shrines of Muruga, Siva and other deities.
