Explanation:

By the tenth century the compositions of the 12 Alvars were compiled in an anthology known as the Nalayira Divyaprabandham (“Four Thousand Sacred Compositions”).

The "Vachanas" are a form of devotional poetry and philosophical sayings that were composed by the, a religious and social movement in South India. The Virashaivas primarily used the Kannada language to express their religious and philosophical ideas. Our understanding of the Virashaiva tradition is derived from vachanas (literally, sayings) composed in Kannada by women and men who joined the movement.

The poems of Appar, Sambandar and Sundarar (Nayanars) form the Tevaram, a collection that was compiled and classified in the tenth century on the basis of the music of the song.

Verses ascribed to Kabir have been compiled in three distinct but overlapping traditions. The Kabir Bijak is preserved by the Kabirpanth (the path or sect of Kabir) in Varanasi and elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh; the Kabir Granthavali is associated with the Dadupanth in Rajasthan, and many of his compositions are found in the Adi Granth Sahib.
