What are 10 directions according to Thirumoolar ?
M.P.Sathyavel Murugan says ::

Ten Directions:
1. East 2. South East 3. South 4. South West 5. West
6. North West 7. North 8. North East 9. Upwards and 10. Downwards.
- The Four Directions normally known are further bifurcated angularly, which are called as South East, South West, North West and North East.
- These eight directions are generally known in Tamil as Eight Angular Directions, which constitute only Two Dimensional expanse.
- To add to this, the direction towards top and that towards bottom would give Three Dimensional perspectives and this alone will represent the entirety.
Hence, Thirumoolar herein made mention of Ten Directions, which would go for explaining the Omnipresence of the Almighty.
