Tirujnana
Sambandar. He was born to a Brahmin named Sri Sivapada Virudayar at Shiyali. When he was
just three years old, one day, he went with his father to the tank.
Leaving his child on the bank, the Brahmin took his bath in the tank. Tirujnana Sambandar began to cry out of hunger. As the Brahmin was
absorbed in meditation on God, the child's cries did not reach his ears. There was nobody
to look after the child. Then Lord Siva with Parvati Devi appeared before him and the Devi
gave him milk. Then thechild got Jnanam (Wisdom) and began to compose songs in praise of
God. |
