Vyakhyana Saram:
Kanchi derives its name from Brahma who is known as ka:, who worshipped the Lord in this kshetra. In that famed city, in a lotus flower within a lotus pond, under the star Thiruvonam (Sravanam) which is the star of the Lord Himself, Poygai Azhvar was born. He gave the wonderful Mudhal Thiruvandhadhi pasuram which is like a lamp that drives away the darkness of the mind and lifts the soul up.
