Source: academia.edu: Dvādaśa-mūrti in Tamil TraditionTiruppuḷiyāḻvār (திருப்புளியாழ்வார்) is another name for Nammāḻvār: one of the twelve Āḻvār saints of Tamil Nadu, India.—Nammāḻvār, in Tamil Vaiṣṇava tradition, comes next to Tirumaṅkkai in as far as the contribution to Indian sacred literature is concerned. [...] Nammāḻvār was known as Māṟan, Caṭakōpaṉ, Caṭāri and Tiruppuḷiyāḻvār. He was by birth a veḷḷāḷa (landlord or serf). He is considered a manifestation of Viṣvaksena, Tamil Cēṉai-mutaliyār. His disciple was Maturakavi, a Brāhmaṇa.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
