TIRUVARUR |
|
| The old man was
taken in a bier followed by the harlot and a funeral pyre was set up. When it was about to
be lit, the old man transformed himself into his original form of Lord Siva and gave
liberation to the harlot who had dutifully followed him even to the funeral pyre. She was
true to her tradition and devotion. As such she deserved liberation. Tiruvarur became very famous in the last century for the birth of three great Carnatic musicians, viz., Muthuswami Dikshitar, Syama Sastri and Tyagaraja. Tyagaraja composed his songs in Telugu, ond thev are considered to be gems of Carnatic music,highly honoured even now. |
