Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The region was once a dense forest of bamboo trees. One of the cows grazing here was pouring its milk on a particular place here slightly higher from the ground level. Noticing this, the shepherd informed the king. As instructed by the king, his men dug he place with a tool called Vasi. Seeing blood oozing from there, the king was shocked and turned back in fear.
Next day, his enemies came there and gave him a pot containing a highly poisonous snake. Before the king opened the pot, a snake charmer came there and caught the snake in it and went away. Lord Shiva appeared in his dream and said that He was the snake charmer and directed him to build a temple in the bamboo forest. The temple thus came into being. Other story goes like this. Demons Madhu and Kaidaba stole the Vedas from Lord Brahmma and hid them under the sea. Brahmma could not continue His creation work in the absence of the Vedas. Lord Vishnu came to his rescue, incarnated as Matsya –Fish, went deep into sea, recovered the Vedas and killed the demons. The killing left their evil marks on Lord Vishnu who prayed to Lord Shiva for a remedy. Lord Shiva advised to worship Him in this place for removal of evil effects. Vishnu followed the advice and got remedied. Lord Shiva came out as a Swayambu. The Lord of the temple is praised in the Thevaram hymns of saint Tirunavukkarasar. This is the 16th Shiva temple in Thondai Mandalam region praised in Thevaram hymns. Lord Shiva, a swayambulinga appears on a square peeta in the sanctum sanctorum with a scar on the head, slightly leaning on the left side. As there is a scar on the head, pujas are performed without touching the deity. The Sri Chakra, installed by Sri Adi Sankara is in the Artha Mandapa. The Linga was found in the bamboo jungle, the Lord is named Pasura Nathar – Pasu-Bamboo. As Lord Shiva removed evils of Perumal, He is praised as “Perumal Vinai Theertha Easwara” gracing from a separate shrine. Devotees pray for delayed marriages to happen, for removal of adverse effects. |
