This
elder brother Palani Andavar claims more than hundred temples in and around
Palani town. Of all sizes and shapes too. Many of them are grand and have
exquisitely built niches adorned with sculpture of rare type. At many stages,
along the flight of stairs, he gives darsan and infuses enthusiastic spirit into
the pilgrims to climb step by step and reach his brother's sannidhi.
For his
very darsan and prayer, the yatris halt for a while, which invariably mitigates
their fatigue and instills cheer into their hearts. Isn't it a service pleasant
to the younger brother, who left Kailas on his account only? This elder brother
is greater in sagacity, pLacability, nobility, magnanimity and what not. Hence
the number.
