So what is Thevaram and Thiruvachagam?

Thevaram (Theva = God & Aram = Garland) denotes the first seven volumes of Thirumurai (which is the twelve-volume collection of Tamil Saivite devotional poetry) sung by one of the Nayanars by the name of Sambanthar.

And Thiruvachagam (Thiru = sacred & Vachagam = Utterances) denotes the eighth volume of hymns sung by Manikkavacakar.
