	Saivite saint Sundarar came to Virundeeswarar temple after worshipping Lord Avinashilingeswarar and Mother Karunambikai in Avinashi temple, in a fainting state due to acute hunger. A couple treated them with all love with drumstick leaves preparations. Sundarar regained strength and came to know that the hosts were none other than Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi.
