In , he authored a short biography of the playwright titled, Tamizh Nataka Thalaimai Asiriyar.Initiated into the intricacies of Tamil language by his father and later mentored by the renowned Tamil scholar Palani Dandapani Swamigal, Sankardas Swamigal's journey took a turn when he worked briefly as an accountant in a salt factory.
