LORD SIVA OF ETTAMANUR

Comprehending the divinity of the soil and environs, he decided to install one Sivalinga at Ettamanur and the other at Kaduthuruthi. As planned, he did, and made the three places great Siva khsetras of eternal spiritual significance. Later, he did penance again for further boons - primary passion being that Lord Siva should be with him for ever, or vice versa. 

Would that Omni compassionate Bhaktavashankar ever deny such devotion-soaked desire? He finds pleasure in fulfilling any desire. Appearing before him, he said Thadastu - be it so. He started enjoying playing with Khara, as and when he desired and craved for company. Both regaled each other in several kinds of sports, totally obvious of the surroundings. 

It pleased him most and the Lord best. One day assuming the form of a deer, Khara invited the Lord to participate in `the chase and catch game - one running at high speed, the other following to catch.
