Despite going
round the world on his mount Mayura with a velocity matching his craze for
winning the trophy, he did not get the desired; for the scriptural wisdom
unmistakably and loudly proclaims that father and mother are the living gods on
the earth and going round them making pradakshana tantamounts to completing the
Bhupradakshanam. Unable to stomach the defeat, he accused his parents and
settled down here permanently much against the persuasion of his loving parents.
And for the sake of fruit, he left kailas and made this as his abode, this sacrosanct
place was fittingly named
Palani after him, for he was, himself a 'phal' as said by his own father. Now
listen.
