Thiruvalluvar-earliest reference in a Saivite text

In the immortal Thirukkural, Thiruvalluvar didn't reference himself as an author even once. True selflessness!
The earliest reference to the author is a Saivite text called திருவள்ளுவ மாலை (Thiruvalluva Malai-garland of Thiruvalluvar), which has other authors praising Thiruvalluvar for his work.
