He had nothing left to pay the wages for the workers. He prayed to Lord for money. Lord, in a voice, pointed out a spot on the banks of Kollidam and asked Azhwar to come there to collect the money. Azhwar found a trader there wearing a turban holding a measuring bowl (marakkal), palm and Ezhuthani. The trader told Azhwar that Lord Ranganatha had sent him to help Azhwar and asked him his need. Tirumangai required money from him to pay wages for the workers. The trader said that he had no money but the Marakkal he had would fulfill the need. He said that he would give sand measuring by his bowl, which will turn into gold only to such workers who sincerely worked and would remain sand itself to those insincere. Azhwar accepted the condition. To many, it was sand only. The workers felt that the trader was a magician and began to attack him. He began to run away. Azhwar too chased him. The trader stopped at this place. Azhwar asked him who he was. The trader-Lord appeared in His true form. He taught Azhwar in writing on the palm with the Ezhuthani. Temple History:When Sage Brugu worshipped Perumal in the Milk Ocean, Mother Mahalakshmi presented the sage with a garland. The sage gave it to Indira who in turn placed it on the head of his elephant. The animal drew the garland and crushed it under its foot. Boiling in anger, the sage cursed Indira to be born a human on earth. Indira fell down to earth and rushed to Lord seeking relief. Mother Mahalakshmi assured Indira that she would be born the daughter of Sage Bruhu and he would be relieved of the curse when She weds Perumal then. Indira waited for the time. When the divine wedding took place, he got the relief. Lord Perumal granted darshan to him in His celebrated reclining posture Special Features:NA *Sources from Dinamalar.com |
