<br />
Of the 12,000 verses of the Bharatha Venba, only about 830 remains. Of these 818 were published in 1925 by A. Gopala Iyer. To differentiate Perundevanar from his namesake Sangam poet, he came to be known by the name 'Baratham Paadiya Perundevanar' (Perundevanar who sang Mahabharata). He has reportedly added a God-invoking verse to all the works in [[Ettuthogai]] (the Eight anthologies) of the [[Sangam literature]] and hence has been credited with compiling those works.<ref name="SangaIlakkiyam_3">{{cite book<br />
