Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Om Namah Sivaya Kazharsinga Nayanar AndSeruthunai Nayanar Kazharsinga Nayanar was an ardent devotee of the Lord. He was a Pallava monarch. Due to God’s grace he defeated the kings of the northern country and established Saivism there. He went on many pilgrimages. Once he came to Tiruvarur with his queen and visited the temple. The queen, coming round the temple, came to the place where flowers had been kept for Siva’s worship, and she smelt a flower which had accidentally fallen on the floor. Seruthunai Nayanar, a pious Siva Bakta, who was doing the service in the temple, was annoyed by her action. He at once cut off the nose of the queen that smelt the flower. The king, hearing the pitiable cry of the queen, rushed to the spot. He was terribly angry with the man who was responsible for the brutal act. Seruthunai Nayanar explained to him the queen’s action which was an insult to Lord Siva (Siva Aparadham). The king at once gave an additional punishment to her, by cutting off her hand which picked up the flower! Both the king and Seruthunai Nayanar were glorified by the people and the celestials rained flowers on them. Both of them attained the grace of Lord Siva.
