The story of saiva saints/12. KUNGULIYAKKALAYAR

12. KUNGULIYAKKALAYAR

There was a Brahmin Saint called Kunguliyakkalayar at Thirukkadavur. He used to burn incense of 'Kunguliyam' daily before the Lord and he became poor day by day. One day while he was going to the market with the Thali[1] of his wife to purchase paddy, he saw a cart load of Kunguliyam. He brought it in ​exchange for the Thali and burnt it with extreme devotion to the Lord. The Lord was pleased and blessed the Saint with riches. Once when he visited the Siva shrine at Tirupanandal, he found the Chola king trying to set aright the Siva Linga which was in bending posture. By his sincere devotion he set it right by pulling it. Later on Thicugnana Sambandar and Tiriru Navukkarasar were his guests for sometime.
