Origins of Ashtasahasram Iyers



I have recently been interested in the origin of Tamil Iyers. There are several subgroups among Iyers - Vadama, Brahatcharanam, Ashtasahasram, etc. I pursued further research on the Ashtasaharsam subgroup. They are divided into 4 subdivisions Attiyur, Arivarpade, Shatkulam and Nandivadi. These are the villages where they settled down initially when they arrived into Tamil Nadu. 

Ashtasahasram means 8000 in Sanskrit. Interestingly there is a village near Tindivanam in Tamil Nadu called Ennayiram (meaning 8000 in Tamil). Right next to this village is another village called Nandivadi and another village closeby called Attiyur.

I made a trip to this village - Ennayiram - to find out more. I was pleasantly surprised by the archeological remains there! I found 5 temples - 4 Shiva temples and one Vishnu temple. The 4 Shiva temples point to the 4 different directions (Brahmadesam, Ennayiram, Esalam and one more) and are age old - different from the usual temples of Tamil Nadu which has a Gopuram. 

These temples seemed like community gathering places apart from being places of worship. There were stages for artists to perform, small homes for probably the temple priests to live in and a series of nearby structures as opposed to a central structure dominating the scene. The Vishnu temple in the village of Ennayiram actually was a 2 storied temple! The local villagers told us that there were 500 brahmin families living there and that there were vedic schools for all 4 vedas there. There were writings on the walls of all temples in Grantham script several thousands of lines long.

Unfortunately they are not that well preserved. ASI has just started some work there. But plenty of sculptures and artefacts are strewn around in the road. Valuable historical writings have been used to build houses by the locals. These represent the best evidence of who and what the Ennayiram brahmins (Ashtasahasram Brahmins) are. I am posting several pictures I took of the place. 

I also started looking for the other villages - Arivarpade and Shatkulam. I never found them. They probably have been lost to time. But may be they still are around and if anyone knows about these, do post comments. Likewise, if anyone else has info on these writings or know more about this subject, kindly post your comments.

  1. Hi Siva,

    Fantastic post! I have been searching for a lead beyond the so called sub division on Ashtasahasram. This is the first time that i found a lead beyond the mention of these four sub sects.

    I don't have any further information other than the following. My maternal grandmother and most of her family was highly skilled in reading and writing in the Grantham script. My maternal grandfather knew to read it too, however i think he learnt it at a later stage in his life. My grandmother indicated that she and her brothers learnt it from her father when she was very young. Her family was known as the Pithambarm family and probably migrated to some place in near the border of TN and Kerala from one of these villages many years ago!

    Anyways, all the best and please do post any other info that you come upon.

    Mahesh

  3. Siva,

    This is great. Your pictures are fantastic.
    We have a trust called The8000trust. The objective is to get a membership base of 8006 families (Ennayiram).
    How can we use the internet & social networks like facebook/orkut etc to track people who belong to the Ashtasahasram group.

    If we can get some good researcher I can persuade the8000trust to fund a proper research and get some authentic material for publication.
    I am saying this with some degree of confidence because I am one of the trustees.

    Wonder if you can help.

    In the meanwhile may mail your link to all our members currently about 250.

    1. Very good effort.I only suggest that while we are aware of the present, we should also try to explore our 'pravaram'and include members of the hoary past whereever info is available.I am a retired scientist of ICMR and my namesake grandfather was an eminent archaeologist who had taught Paramacharya when he ascended the gadi ,aspects of south Indian architecture and silasasanam.It is mentioned in Periaval's biography. I am willing to render whatever help you may need.

  5. Hi Siva,

    I was trying to understand about the entire spectrum of Ashtasahasram (Some kind of Soul Searching eh!) and your blog came in pretty handy.

    Great pictures. I would be glad to know more if there is anyway of doing it. And its sad that our history isnt preserved as we see in the pictures. Its only in our hands to retain the remnants and preserve it.

    Avinash

    Eye opener, I would say on the state of affairs.

    1. More about Ennayiram:

      There is mention that Ennayiram attained its peak during the Chola era of the 11th century including a claim that Chola kings invited brahmins from the North to setup a vedic school at Ennayiram. At this time there is evidence of the arrival of Vaishavism in Ennayiram. There is documented evidence of granting land to the Vishnu temple at Ennayiram in the temple writings around 1043 AD (see http://www.hindu.com/2003/11/07/stories/2003110701571300.htm). This coincides with early years of Ramanuja.

      Nearby there is Ennayira Malai which has Jain inscriptions, Pallava inscriptions (Nirubathunga Varman from 850 AD) and Chola inscriptions (Parantaka Chola from 907 AD) as mentioned in wikipedia. Further wikipedia claims 8000 jains were converted to Vaishavism here by St. Ramanuja. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennayiram

      With these events it is possible to build a reconstruction of plausible events. As Jain rule in Tamil Nadu was fading away and the Pallava kings arrived. It is likely that during the late Pallava or Chola period (800 AD - 915 AD) this town grew with the and the Shiva temples were constructed. Temple priests due to lack of Hindu knowledge locally (as Jains were ruling the area for a long time) were likely called upon from the north and they settled as Ashtasahasram Iyers in this village. Vaishnavite movement shot this village to prominence during Ramanuja period and the Vishnu temple was constructed. The name 8000 seems to come from converting 8000 jains to Iyergars here.

      Sometime most likely in 1300s by Malik Kafur there was an invasion of this place was abandoned and the Ashasahasram group migrated to other places. They live in Tanjore, Tirunelveli and Palakkad today.

  24. I belong to Ashtasahasram group of Brahmin Iyers.A close relative of mine from Kannagudi,near Lalgudi in Trichy district mentioned to me that we are originally samanars who lived in the village of Ennairam long back.
    This site has shed lot of light on the evolution of Ashtasahasram Brahmins and linkage with the Great Ramanuzam seer in his 1000th celebration year.This sect is therefore more than 1000 years old .
    Director S.Balacahnder also set to belong to this sub sect of Brahmins.

I hope it is not possible to get such long ans-ester details for period tracing reverse 2000 years. Further basically, there is much difference between Iyer as Jaathi and calling them as Bhrahmana Jaathi. Does Bhrahmana is a jaathi. I have this doubt till date. Bhrahma means only one-sa yekaha- then how it divided as iyer and iyengaar and with totally differnt culutre and rituals. Iyer for 60 years celebration chant Rudhra Japam. Where as iyengaar chant Dhivya prabandham only. Historically can we trace back to iyer-iyengaar deveation period and how it blosammed.
