editKambar or Kamban? RickK 05:10, Jun 17, 2004 (UTC)
Both are correct.Kambar is the actual name. Kamban is used fondly and is less formal. This is something like calling William as Bill.
Details of Kambaramayanam
editI feel that the last two paragraphs in this article talks about Kambaramayanam and hence should be moved to that article. Objections??GurufromIndia 14:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes I also think so —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravivijayaraghavan (talk • contribs) 06:53, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Actually, the name is Kamban. It is changed to Kambar in Tamil, when we want to honor the person named Kamban. Thus, we find Tamilians changing Raman to Ramar, or Dasharatha becoming Dasharathar, or Sugrivaa becoming Sugrivar. But, Ravana is always Ravana, never Ravanar, since he does not deserve any respect. I hope that makes the point.
Anyway, I find the original author's remarks about unique Tamilian sensitivities (????) to be very very offensive. The author displays both a unique (shall we say Tamilian) arrogance as well as ignorance. It should be noted that Kamban was a scholar of both Tamil and Sanskrit. The so-called modification is actually obtained from Mahrishi Vyasa's work known as the Adhyatma Ramayanam. This is NOT widely studied and discusses the deeper spiritual and philosophical significance of Valmiki's work. I do hope the offensive section will be deleted (actually that will mean deleting the entire article since everything revolves around this "uniqueness" myth) and that the original author of this article will stop indulging in such fantasies about such unique Tamilian sensitivities and educate himself/herself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlaxmanan (talk • contribs) 15:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Details about Kamba Ramayana
Legend has iot that only Valmiki Ramayan has been written by Lord Ganesha. Its not the Kamba Ramayana —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravivijayaraghavan (talk • contribs) 06:48, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Where did Kampar learned all of those? There was any Academies or Universities around that time ? Kamapar, Auwaiyar, Pookallenthiyar, Ottaikoothar and pretty same time Sayankondar all were there. Something sound not normal... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.243.161 (talk) 21:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
