ezhil mADAm ezhubadu
seidhu vulagamANDa -thiru-kulathu chOzhan sEarndha thirunaRaiyUr maNimADam
sEArmingaLEa
There was a debate that why should one
talk of this chOzhan having been a worhshipper of shivaperumAn now worshipping
the Lord.
This chOzhA king is supposed to have been
taken a birth of 'spider' amd made a web in thiruvANaik-kOil. In the next birth,
he became an ardent devotee of shivaperumAn and constructed 70 big mAdam-s for
shivaperumAn,- in each of the 70 divisions of chOzha dhEsam- temples
which was non-assailable by elephants. This is corroborated in periya purANam
'senkaNAn andhamil sEr
sOnATTil aganAduthorumaNiyAr chandrasEkaran arundhAnangaL pala
samaindhAn'
However, he was not able to fulfill his
desires and reached the feet of the thirunaRaiyUr Lord
Sri peiryavAchAn piLLai has explained this
in the vyAkyAnam as follows:
"vEdhathil srE
purusha-sukthAthigaLai vuchariyA ninRuLLa vAiyaiyudaiyarAi
ettuthOlgaLaiyumudaiya dhEvarkku, dharsanEya mAdangaL ezhubadhu samaithu,
pinnaiyum thannudaiya abimadham kidayAmaiyAlEa,avvabimadha sidyArthamAga
AsrayikkiRa dhEsam''
Having not got his desires fulfilled even
after constructing several temples for shivaperumAn who is uttering
purusha-sUkthAthigaL, the king for this purpose approached and worhsipped
thirunaRAiyUr perumAL.
The pAsuram
"...irukkilangngu thirumozhi

6-6-8;
Here,it is pertinent to
note that thirumanagai AzhwAr depicts shivaperumAn as a devotee
of Lord of vishNu by describing him as one who is uttering
purusha-sUkthAdhigaL.--irukkilangu thirumozhi
