There are several evidences indicating that Parimelalhagar belonged to the Vaishnavite sect. His explanations to Kural couplets 610 and 1103, his reference to the Nalayira Divya Prabandham in various instances, his employment of verses from the Tiruvai Molhi in couplets 349 and 370, and his citing Nammalvar's verses in chapter 39 in the second book all indicate that he was a Vaishnavite. While a staunch devotee of Vishnu, Parimel practiced religious tolerance and treated other religions of his time with equal respect.
