Arunagirinathar was born in the town of [[Tiruvannamalai\|Thiruvannamalai]] in Tamil Nadu. Arunagiri is portrayed as attracted to the [[pleasures of the flesh]] and spent his youth pursuing a life of debauchery. He frequently visited the devadasi Maragatham. His sister, Aadhilakshmi, wants to reform her brother, so she arranges his marriage with Gnanavalli. However, he is unhappy with his life, neglects his wife and continues his bad ways. He persuades his sister to sell all their property and their house to get money for his dissipation. Despite his sister giving him the money she earns, he reduces himself, his wife, and his sister to dire poverty. He catches [[leprosy]], and people avoid him.
