Legend has it that Tirumular was a travelling Shaiva saint and scholar from Kailash who used his yoga powers to transmigrate into the body of a southern cowherd, Mulan.18 Siddhar and meditation techniques He woke up from his yogic trance once a year and composed one verse until he attained salvation.

The dates of Tirumūlar's life are hotly contested and, because his work makes reference to so many currents of religious thought, the dates that different scholars assign are often appealed to for anchoring the relative chronology of other religious literature in Tamil and Sanskrit. Verse 74 of the Tirumantiram makes the claim that Tirumūlar lived for 7 aeons (yuga) before composing the Tirumantiram
 தெளிவுறு ஞானத்துச் சிந்தையின் உள்ளே
அளியுறு வார்அம ரர்பதி நாடி
எளியனென் றீசனை நீசர் இகழில்
கிளியொன்று பூசையின் கீழது வாமே.


யாவர்க்கும் முதல்வனாகிய சிவபெருமானது திருக் கோலத்தின் உண்மைகளை நூல்களாலும், நாட்டில் அமைந்த திருக் கோயில்கள், அவற்றில் நிகழும் விழாவகைகள் முதலியவற்றாலும் ஓர்ந்துணர்ந்து, அதனால் தெளிவுபெற்ற ஞானத்தை உடையராய் உள்ளத்தில் அன்புமிகப் பெறுவோர் பின்னர்த் தேவராவர். அவ்வாறு ஓர்ந்துணரவும், தெளியவும் மாட்டாத கீழ்மக்கள் அப்பெருமானை, எலும்பு, தோல், சாம்பல், வெண்டலை முதலியவைகளை உடைய வனாய்ச் சுடுகாட்டில் ஆடுதல், தலையோடு ஏந்தி இரத்தல் முதலிய வைகளையே நோக்கிச் சிறுதெய்வமாகக் கருதி இகழ்வார்களாயின், அச்செயல், கிளி ஒன்று தானே பூனையின் அருகுசென்று அகப்பட்டு நின்றது போல்வதாய்விடும்.
