According to legend, poygaiaazhvaar was an amsam of changu and

Thirumazhisai aazhvaar was an amsam of aazhi (chakkaram).

Besides, amudhanaar says in the 33rd paasuram of 100thanthaathi

that sri raamaanujaa was the avathaaram of the five divine

weapons:

 

\bt

adaiyaar kamalath alar magaL kELvan kai aazhiyennum

padaiyodu naandhagamum padar thaNdum oN saarnga villum

pudaiyaar puri sangamum indhap boothalam kaappathaRkenRu

idaiyE iraamaanusa muni aayina in^n^ilaththE.

\et

 

aazhi = chakkaram

naandhagam = sword

thaNdu = gadhai

saaranga vil = bow

sangam = changu
