If one throws at me
Vilva leaves, even out of jest, it is enough to take him to heaven." Then Divine
Mother Parvati, out of great veneration, bowed before the Lord of the World and merged with His jyoti.
The marriage between Lord Pataleeswara and DeviPatalanayaki took place under the Patiri
tree in the next Tamil month Adi (July-August) on the Pooram Star day. Viswakarma, the heavenly
architect, put up a big,
beautiful pandal and it was tastefully decorated. Brahma, Vishnu and all the Devas and Saints attended the marriage.
Saint Manickavachakar, after worshipping the Lord at Chidambaram, wanted to worship Lord
Pataleeswara and was coming towards this place. But there flowed the river Kedila which
the great saint had to cross. The river was in spate. The saint got worried very much and
prayed to God Paramasiva to direct the river to make a path. This was done. Happily
Manickavachakar reached Pataleeswaram and worshipped God. |
