Theriyar and Siddha Medicine
mQ;Rfk;> BSMS ,Wjp Mz;L> murpdu; rpj;j kUj;Jt fy;Y}up> ghisaq;Nfhl;il. jpUney;Ntyp.
Abstract
Theriyar is one of the eighteen Siddhas. They are known for their medical expertise.
Theriyar is a very eminent one for his intelligence. His approach is always analytical and
diagnostic. His tactical method of taking out the toad (Therai) from the king‟s ear by using
the natural technique by splashing water near the ear shows his natural instinct in the use of
medical practices. His name etymologically got evolved from the term „Therai‟ and he has
been called as Theraiyar for getting victor on the deadly pursuit. Hence, the article traces the
sayings of Theriyar from his Siddha medical sources.
Keywords: Theriyar, Siddha Medicine.

Medical Treatment in Tamil Alphabets
Kidtu; r.re;jpufyh> jkpo;j;Jiwj;jiytu;> gpgp[p fiykw;Wk; mwptpay; fy;Y}up> Nfhit– 35.
Abstract
Tamil works are said to be having medical qualities. The accent of the words
activates the inner organs that become natural to create such sounds. The language has been
created very near to the natural sounds. So, the article traces the related truths about it.
Keywords: Medical Treatment, Tamil Alphabets.
