There can be any number of reasons for this

including ones that are in nature similar to

the reasons given for Gangai throwing little

babies into gushing waters of Gangai, i.e.

saapam, vimOchanam, etc., etc. Be that as it

may, I for one certainly think Lokasaranga Muni

deserves the highest respect reserved only for the

best among our Lord's Bhakthaas, because he

repented for his transgressions and made amends

in a way only great souls will.

 

Now, unrelated to the above, it is interesting

to note that Nandanar, the "untouchable"

devotee of Nataraja, had to submerge in agni before

gaining union with his Lord.
