'Vairagya Catakam', 'One Hundred Verses on Detachment' by the Virasaivite Saint and founder of Perur Athinam, Santhalinga Swamigal, consists of 50 verses of teachings and 50 verses of praise. Whilst being entirely Advaitic in import, it is also a great devotional work in praise of Lord Siva. It includes the Tamil text, English translation, phrase by phrase word-split translation and extensive notes.
