When Sundarar came alone with Cheraman Perumal Nayanar, he was deeply moved on seeing the temple alone near the sea in the midst of a forest without absolutely any dwellings around. He sang hymn on Him with a worried voice in the meaning “when there are so many places where people will rush to worship you why did you choose this lonely place”
