Kambar (poet)
Kambar (Kamban in casual address) ((タミル語:கம்பர்)) (c. 1180, Tiruvaluntur, Tanjore district, India – 1250)〔"Kampan." Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. Encyclopædia Britannica Inc., 2011. Web. 23 December 2011.〕 was a medieval Tamil poet and the author of the ''Ramavataram'', popularly known as ''Kambaramayanam'', the Tamil version of ''Ramayana''.〔The Cyclopaedia of India and of Eastern and Southern Asia By Edward Balfour〕 Kambar also authored other literary works in Tamil, such as 'Thirukkai Vazakkam',''Erezhupathu'', ''Silaiezhupathu'', ''Kangai Puranam'', ''sadagopar anthathi'', and Sarasvati Anthati.〔
==Life==
Kambar belonged to the ''uvachchar'' or ''உவச்சர் (ஓம் அர்ச்சகர்) '' caste, traditionally priests in southern India.〔India's Communities by Kumar Suresh Singh, Anthropological Survey of India – Ethnology – 1992 – 4146 pages〕 However, he was brought up in the household of a wealthy farmer in Vennai Nellur in Tamil Nadu. The Chola king—having heard of this talented bard—summoned him to his court and honoured him with the title ''Kavi Chakravarty'' (''The Emperor of Poets'').〔
Kamban flourished in Therazhundur, a village in the culturally rich Thanjavur District in the modern state of Tamil Nadu in South India. Kamban was a great scholar of India's two ancient and rich languages; Sanskrit and Tamil. In a scholarly biography, ''Kavichakravarty Kamban'', Mahavidwan R. Raghava Iyengar wrote in detail about this 12th-century poet.
