We now know tha rrc was forgotten for atleast a part of his deeds like the big temple construction till 19th century. but was he remembered for the thirumurai event? any details on it.
Nambi andar nimbi was a contemporary of Nathamuni the Vaishnava leader and of Rajaraja the great, the chola king ( ad 985-1018??). He gathered the tamil hymns of the three into one collection,named it the tevaram, the divine garland, and with the help of rajaraja had them set to dravidian music (he began the compilation in the reign of rajaraja and finished it under his son rajendra 1 ). He then arranged to have them sung in the chief shrines. As inscription of rajaraja's shows that he introduced them into his magnificient temple at tanjore. Sung by a special choir, quite distinct form the priestly ministrants, they gave the worship a fresh interest and splendor without disturbing the ancient Sanskrit liturgy. Manikka vacakar's glorious verse was probably too recent to find a place in this collection.
Nambhi's name is also connected with the formation of a larger body of tamil scripture, which is the called tirumurai, ie the sacred books. He collected most of shiva hymns then in existence and grouped them in eleven books, and the collection was completed by the addition of the twelfth in the 12th c. the contents are a) the tevaram,b) the tiruvacakam c) the tiru isaipa, lyrics by nine authors, d) the tirumantiram e) misc poems including nambhi's own works f) the periya puranam, or great legent, a liber sanctorum, forming the twelfth book. Sekkiar, the author of periya puranam, the great legend may be dated to the first half of the 12th c. it is a poem in 72 cantors on the lives of the 63 saiva sints of the tamil country, and is founded on a decade of sundarar's and the tondar tiru anthadi which is one of nambi's poems. No work is more loved by saivas than the periya puranam. To about the same date we may assign a famous translation, the skanda p, done into tamil verse and called the kanda puranam by kanchi appar of conjeevaram
