The Tamil hymns of the 15th century poet Annamalai Adigal (Arunagiri Nathar) extol several of the shrines of Skanda located all over south India. In particular, the 24 line long Kshetra Kovai (see below) refers to several shrines.

 

kumba kONamo Daaroor chidambaram
umbar vaazhvuru seekaazhi ninridu
konrai vENiyar maayoora mamperu             sivakaasi

kondu laaviya raamE suram tani

The well known aaru padai veedu shrines are mentioned in this poem along with other Murugan temples as well as Shivastalams all over Tamilnadu.
