The Tampirans, along with the young disciple, Mukkalalingar went to Sucindram, where there is a branch of Tiruvavaduturai Adhinam math, presided over by a teacher named Pinvelappa desikar, who received the young disciple who came along with the aged Tampirans.  He initiated him and took care of his learning, spiritual and secular, both in Tamil as well as Sanskrit.  After some years closely observing his behaviour and good conduct and faultless learning, the head of the math gave him Saiva Sannyasa and the wisdom initiation which is known as Nirvana diksa along with the name Sivajnanam.

Sivajnana munivar was a scholar, poet, grammarian, logician, linguist and in short a versatile genius.  He widely travelled throughout the length and breadth of the Tamil Nadu and when he laid his mortal remains at Tiruvavaduturai on 20-4-1785, he was only 32 and he had the twenty nine works to his credit.
