Sage Vyasa once had
to face a curse from Nandideva, vehicle of Lord Shiva. As advised by Lord
Vishnu, he prayed to Lord Shiva and got relieved of the curse. He also installed a
Shivalinga in the temple known as Vyasa Linga. King of Vangadesa –
now Bengal – worshipped Lord Shiva here for
curing his wife Gandhimathi suffering
from a prolonged illness, as advised by Sage Soodha. He also did some
renovations in the temple. He was
blessed with children too. Laziness will
vanish from those praying to Mother Somakalambal who also blesses devotees with an
attractive appearance.

The nectar pot placed by Lord Brahmma was floating in the disastrous flood destroying the world. Lord Shiva came to this place as a hunter, shot an arrow and broke the pot. The place came to be known as Panathurai named after this story. The nectar in the pot overflowed wide and deep and made the Mahamaha tank. Those praying to Lord in this place would be blessed with longevity and fame in life. They derive the benefit of drinking the very nectar itself. |
