Dear Smt Vidya,
 
Most of the sthalapurANams are not from actual purANas, but locally believed legends. I dont know about thiruviNNagar in particular. I think it is the same mArkaNdEya who is mentioned in the sthalapurANam. Markandeya turned out to be a great devotee, and Parasara Bhattar refers to the Lord as the one liked by Sishtas like mArkaNdEya (SishtEshta:). According to our Azhwars, it is by the blessings of the Lord mArkandEyan was saved from death by Siva - ?pukkadimaiyinaal thannaikkanda maarkandeyanavanai nakkapiraanum anruyyakkondadhu naaraayanan arule? Thiruvaimozhi 4-10-8 (source: http://geocities.com/yatirajadasa/arulichheyal.html)

Sri:

Srimathae Ramanujaya Namaha:

Adiyen had the following question in mind while
reading Oppiliappan Sthala Puranam.

Is the Markandeya Rishi, the Father-in-Law of
Srinivasa Perumal, same as the Markandeya in the Sivan
story where Sivan protected him from Yama Dharmarajan?

Please pardon adiyen's ignorance.

Sri.
