Satti Nayanar
Satti Nayanar (Shatti Nayanar, Chaththi Nayanar), also known as Satti (Sathi), Sathiyar, Shakti Nayanar, Shakti, Shaktiyar (Saktiyar), Sattiyandar and Thiru-Saththi Nayanar, is a Nayanar saint, venerated in the Hindu sect of Shaivism. He is generally counted as the forty-fifth in the list of 63 Nayanars. Satti Nayanar is described to cut off the tongue of whoever talked ill of his patron god Shiva or Shiva's devotees.
==Life==
The life of Satti Nayanar is described in the ''Periya Puranam'' by Sekkizhar (12th century), which is a hagiography of the 63 Nayanars.〔 Satti Nayanar was a Vellalar, a caste of agricultural land owners. Satti Nayanar belonged to Varinjiyur, presently in Tiruvarur District in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Little is known about this Nayanar. He was a devotee of the god Shiva, the patron god of Shaivism and honoured Shaivas, the devotees of Shiva. He did not tolerate any one who spoke ill about Shaivas and cut off the person's tongue. He is said to forcibly pull out the tongues of the "blasphemous sinners" with tongs and cut them off with sharp knife called ''satti'', which gave him his name - Satti Nayanar. Shiva is said to blessed him for his service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Puranam of Satthi Nayanar )〕
Some Kannada and Sanskrit inscriptions state that Satti Nayanar (sometimes called ''Shaktinatha'') had taken a vow to slay all non-Shaivas, not only those who slandered Shaivas. However, no tradition actually records him killing any individual. Though the blasphemers are not explicitly identified in the narrative, they are interpreted to be Jains or Buddhists. Satti Nayanar may sometimes be depicted severing the tongue of a Jain monk. In folk tradition, he is called Kalacittia.
