Siva is referred to as 'nakka pirAn' by nammAzhvAr. The term refers to 'one who is without cloths'. The reasons assigned are: "He has no interest in anything", or "He forgets even his body". If anyone knows of the purANic basis for these statements, I would appreciate knowing about it. I am not able to figure out why he got the name 'nakka pirAn'. I am only looking for purANic incidences that support the epithet. -dAsan Krishnamachari ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads.
