Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Siva is referred to as 'nakka pirAn' by nammAzhvAr. The term refers to 'one who is without cloths'. The reasons assigned are: "He has no interest in anything", or "He forgets even his body". If anyone knows of the purANic basis for these statements, I would appreciate knowing about it. I am not able to figure out why he got the name 'nakka pirAn'. I am only looking for purANic incidences that support the epithet. -dAsan Krishnamachari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
