Malayamaan Thirumudi Kaari is considered one of the seven greatest "bestowers" of the last Sangam era– theKadai Ezhu Vallalgal. The people of his time considered him the most modest of kings. Nobody left empty-handed after paying a visit to him and the visitor who came on barefoot would usually return mounted on a horse or an elephant of his choice. He called himself not a king but a "rightful servant of his beloved people".
