  • (N14/274)here we can not present the greatness of the temple: Thirugnanasambandhar avathAra thalam: ambigai came in person to give milk of wisdom since pillai(child) called as 'gnana kuzhandhai' ( child of wisdom):sambandhar himself given more than 60pathigams to this thalam: more to sundharar and appar also given pathigams:சட்டைநாத சுவாமி இங்கு முக்கிய தெய்வமாகும். இரண்யனைக் கொன்ற நரசிங்கத்தைத் தடிந்து, அதன் தோலைச் சட்டையாகப் போர்த்துக் கொண்டதால், சுவாமித் இத்திருநாமத்தைக் கொண்டார்.சுந்தரர் இங்கு வந்தபோது, இஃது, சம்பந்தப்பெருமான் அவதரித்தபதி என்று மிதிப்பதற்கு அஞ்சி நகர்புறத்து நின்று பாட, இறைவர் காட்சி தந்த பதி.
