'''Sivagyana Munivar''' (c. 18th century) was a [[saivite]] sage and scholar from [[Tirunelveli]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. He was well versed in both [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Sanskrit]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Sivagyana Murnivar was born '''Mukkalaalingar'''. He translated several Sanskrit works into Tamil. He was also known as Sri Madhava Sivagyana Munivar.{{fact|date=August 2020}}<br />
<br />
==Works==<br />
Sivagyana Munivar authored several texts and translated many. His magnum opus work remains the ''Sivagnana Mapadiam'', an elaborate and critical interpretation of ''Sivagnanabodham'', the work of the 13th-century CE scholar [[Meikandadevar]].{{sfn|Venkataraman, ''The Hindu'', 16 August 2011}} In his commentary to the [[Nannul]], he revised and expanded the work of Shankara Namachivayar.{{sfn|Chellammal, 2015|p=144}} Sivagyana Munivar is also known for his work ''Ilakkana Vilakka Sooravali'', a rebuttal of Tiruvarur Vaidhyanatha Desikar's ''Ilakkana Vilakkam''. This is perhaps the only work in the Tamil literature that serves as a refuting commentary on another work.{{sfn|Mohan and Sokkalingam, 2011|p=18}}<br />
