    • Jagavira Pandiyanar (10 March 1886–17 June 1967), commonly known as Kaviraja Pandithar (Tamil: கவிராச பண்டிதர் செகவீர பாண்டியனார்), was a 20th-century Indian scholar of the Tamil language, who is known for his commentary on the Tirukkural.

    Early life[edit]

    Kaviraja Pandithar was born on 10 March 1886 in the small town of Ottanattham in the present-day Thoothukudi district of the state of Tamil Nadu. He was a descendant of the Indian freedom fighter Veerapandiya Kattabomman. He studied Tamil under Muthukavirayar. He was well known for his discourses of the Puranas. His works ranged from poetry to prose and translations.[1] He lived in Melamasi Street of Madurai.

    Kaviraja Pandithar's commentary on the Kural text is considered a classic by modern scholars, besides that of U. V. Swaminatha Iyer.[2]
