The way faring sandals become the kusa crown of Pasupathi,

The gargled mouthful of water become the holy water of bath ,

To him who destroyed the three cities,

The just tasted pieces of the remaining meat ,

Become the holy offering to the Lord,

And wonder of wonders,the hunter who lives in the forest

Becomes the king of devotees.

What is there in this world that devotion to the Lord cannot do?

Saakshaath Kannappa Nayanar’s history is well known because there are very

few who would not have known Kannappa Naayanaar. He did not worship

KaaLaththeeswarar in the traditions of Aagama Saasthra because the only

reason is that he had Ananya Bhakthi to Parameswara. Kannappa Naayanaar

would hunt for a fat wild pig in the morning, roasting it in fire adding

honey in large quantity. He would then taste it to make sure that the meat

had been nicely cooked. Then he would bring the same for neivEdhyam to

KaaLaththeeswarar who stays at the top of the fourth hill. Before climbing

the hill he would take a mouthful of water from the Ponmukhali (swarNamukhi)

river for doing abhishEkham to Eawara. This way, Kannappa Nayanaar with a

bow on one hand and the cooked meat on the other and the sacred Ponmukhali

water in his mouth, unfading love of KaaLatheeswara in his heart and deep

worry in his thought that Easwara would be hungry that he would hasten to

Him. As he reached the Lingam he would pour the water out of his mouth on

the Lingam to do the abhishEkam. Then he would place the meat on the Lingam

saying, “Hey! ParamEswara! I have brought this fat well cooked pig and I

have made sure it is tenderized by biting it with my teeth and tasted it to

make sure that it is fit for your consumption. Please accept this offering

that I am making to you with all the love of my heart.†Then he would feed

this meat in the mouth of KaaLatheeswara.
