bold">Chundharar developed a great desire to salute the Lord who dances

beautifully in the paths of the devotees in Thiruvarur at the time of the

spring festival. He sang thinking and immersing himself in the Lord of

Thiruvarur, "How long could I stay forgetting my Lord of Arurar who is the

life stream in me?" Saluting the Lord of sacrifices at Thiruvorriyur, he

left for Thiruvarur

font-weight:bold">As he disobeyed the promise he had made in presence of the

Lord to Changiliyar, he lost his eye-sight and struggled to find the

directions.

font-weight:bold">He pleaded to the Lord for Mercy feeling sad for faulting

with the trust of Changiliyar and continued in the undiminishing devotion for

worshiping the Lord of Thiruvarur. He worshiped the Lord for Grace at Thirumullaivayil

font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:purple;font-weight:bold">The great loving

devotee saluted the Lord at Venpakkam where the Lord gave him a staff for

support and said, "Am there, Go!" He bowed down to the Lord at Palaiyanur

- Thiruvalangadu, Thiruvural and reached in Kanychi.

bold">Saluting the

"Comic Sans MS";font-style:normal">Thirukkamakkottam, he

entered with the help of the devotees at Thiruekambam

fell down and saluted the Supreme and prayed to Him asking to grant eye-sight

to see His Beauty that is beyond comparison.

font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:purple;font-weight:bold">The Lord Who melts

easily on bhakthi gave him the sight of the left eye.

font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue"> The

pleased devotee rejoiced in seeing the Nectar of Thiruekambam. Saluting the

abodes of the Lord in the holy town Arurar reached Thiruvarur the floral abode

of the Lord. Amidst the weep and lament he sang his only hold, the only One

whom he approached for his needs, love or devotion, that One Lord Shiva

starting “

"Comic Sans MS";font-style:normal">Milaadimai” saying to the Lord, "Oh Lord! We

have given us as unbreakably bonded slaves to Thee! Still if you do not act

when we slaves are in distress, Oh Lord what could we do!"

Mercy gave the sincere devotee the sight of the right eye also. Nayanar was

very impressed and thankful to the Supreme who blesses all His devotees without

fail and bowed down many times in devotion.

bold">Paravaiyar had come to know about Arurar's marriage with Changiliyar and

was irked. The people who accompanied Chundharar through his pilgrimage were

denied entry at the house when they returned with Chundharar to Thiruvarur.

They conveyed it to Chundharar. He sent the wise people of the town to cool her

ire, but they were sent back by Paravaiyar. Anxious Arurar could not get sleep,

he prayed to the Compassionate Lord again to solve his problem

font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue">.

font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:purple;font-weight:bold">The Merciful came to

the place of Nayanar in the late night. Nayanar privileged and thrilled by His

presence saluted Him. He requested the Lord to solve the problem between him

and Paravaiyar. The Lord who’s holy Feet was not even seen by Brahma and

Vishnu walked to the house of Paravaiyar through the streets of Thiruvarur in

the disguise of an old devotee. Surprised by the visit of a devotee late in the

night, Paravaiyar saluted and greeted Him. The Lord conveyed His purpose of

visit without revealing His true form, asking her to reconcile with Chundharar.

Paravaiyar declined to accept. The Lord wanting to play a game returned back

with her refusal message.

bold">Arurar who was tensed about what the Lord would get as reply, saw the

Lord coming with a smile. Taking it as a sign of positive reply he asked what

she had said. The message Lord gave was quite disappointing for Arurar. He

begged to the Lord to settle the dust for bringing back their life together

again. The Lord went again to Paravaiyar's house, this time revealing Himself

and asked her to accept Chundharar. Then, she realized that even the previous

time it was the Lord who had come as the envoy. She with the folded hands

replied to Him that if the Lord could come as an envoy how could she refuse!

The Lord blessed her devotion and conveyed Chundharar the message he was

looking for. He was pleased and happy. Thanked the Great Lord again

and again. It was dawn by then. Arurar left for the house of Paravaiyar with

the loving people accompanying him with the presents. Paravaiyar received him

in with the heart brimming with love. They lived in the town Thiruvarur

praising the Peerless Grace of the Lord out of which He came as an envoy.

(Chundharar’s

this act of sending the Lord of the Lord’s to whom the entire Universe

serve as slaves, as an envoy to cool a lady made another great loving devotee

named Eyarkon Kalikkama Nayanar to be furious. Happenings as a consequence to

this will be narrated under the life story of Eyarkon Kalikkama Nayanar.)
