| It so happened that
once an old man approached him with the very absurd request to send his (Nayanars) wife to
him as a gift. Without hesitation Iyarpagai Nayanar satisfied the desire of the old man.
But this created commotion among his relatives, who never appreciated such a gift. However
socially degrading it may be, he insisted upon his wife to follow the Sadhu and she did
so. The old man transformed into Siva, praised the
Nayanar for his unstinted devotion towards Saivite saints and blessed him with liberation.
Siva tests the depth of devotion of his devotees and rewards them when they stand the test |
