Saint Sundarar was 18 when he came to Tiru Anjaikalam with his King Friend Cheraman Perumal who also enjoys his due place in the hierarchy of Nayanmars. He prayed to Lord Shiva to relieve him from the bonds of earthly life. The hymn “Thalaiku Thalai was his last song. Responding to the appeal of His devotee, Lord ordered the Devas to receive Sundarar and bring him on the white elephant. Sundarar thought of his bosom friend Cheraman Perumal. Cheraman took on his horse, flew, went round Sundarar thrice and reached Kailas before him, probably ready to accord a reception to Sundarar.
Sundarar, even during his journey, continued to sing the praise of Lord gracing him with an elephant to reach Kailash. Sooner he completed this song, he reached the Lord. As directed by Lord Shiva, Varuna the God of Rain took the song and delivered at the Mahadevar temple at Tiru Anjaikalam. | |
