A couple of points:
- Maanikka Vaasagar was known as Vaathavuurar and he is not known as Manakkaanyachaara! Maanakanjaara naayanar is somebody else not the author o Thiruvasagam (but Maanakkanjaara Naayanaar is one of the 63 naayanmaars)
- Maanikka vasagar is not one of the 63 Nayanmars though he is considered one of the four leading Shaivite leaders in Tamil Nadu beloning to the period of 7-9th century CE.
- there is no proof he is a brahmin. I can cite internal evidence from his work that he calls himself a pulaiyan (meaning low-caste). The point is his birth-based caste is not known. I'm aware he is often said to be a brahmin.

The info is now correct. I have removed the redirect from the Manikkavasagar page. - Parthi 23:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
