They are often associated with teachings belonging to Hinduism, Buddhism, Ajivikism and Jainism and are evident of a caste-less interreligious spiritual society.

Each name in the list starts with prefix �Om� followed by the Siddhar’s names and ends with refrain �Thiruvadigal Potri�. For example for Sundara-ānanda: ஓம� சுந்தரானந்தர� திருவடிகள் போற்றி [ōm cuntarāṉantar tiruvaṭika� pōṟṟi].—These Siddhas experienced union with the ultimate reality and witnessed a spiritual transformation of their intellectual, mental, vital and ultimately, physical bodies.

: Shodhganga: Ajanta’s antiquitySundara (r. 76-77 CE) or Sundara Śātakarṇi is a king from the Sātavāhana dynasty of ancient India. The Sātavāhana lineage (known as Andhra in the Purāṇas) once ruled much of the Deccan region and several of the Ajan caves at West-Khandesh (West-Khaṇḍeśa, modern Jalgaon) were carved in the 3rd century BCE when the region was ruled by kings (e.g., Sundara Śātakarṇi ) and descendants of the Sātavāhana kings. Sundara Śātakarṇi was preceded by Purindraṣeṇa and succeeded by Chakora Śātakarṇi.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
