| The interesting
story of Bhadragiri Raja who is also known as Nayadiyar, who attained moksha at
Tiruvidamarudur, is as follows: - Once he was standing on one side of this temple and Pattinathar on the other side. A beggar asked Pattinathar for alms. He pointed to Nayadiyar saying that there was a family man on the other side, who might give some alms. The beggar approached Nayadiyar, who also had nothing except the bowl and the dog. This Nayadiyar had become a disciple of Pattinathar and relinquished all his possessions. He led a life just like Pattinathar, viz., not keeping anything for the morrow. Since Pattinathar referred to him as a family man, he realised that even to possess a dog and a begging bowl were marks of attachment. |
