LORD OF VAIKOM |
|
| Obviously the
Lord did not approve the idea of keeping the animals inside the temple without permission.
Manikkavachakar, the great devotee that he was, worshipped the Lord and did penance the
next day. He sprinkled the holy Tirtha obtained from the Chief Priest and lo! the animals
became horses again. The Pandya hearing this made enormous gifts in gold to make amends. One Devata, called "Kavutayan" keeps the nightly vigil of the temple. His idol now is installed on a maidan outside the temple on the northwest side. Then t is the story of the famous Vaikom Pachu Moo He was a leper and got rid of his disease through austere bhajan, which he observed day and night.
