The
Post of Amarendran (Devendran)
You are aware that Manikandan had asked the
King to build a temple for him. As per
his advice, the King also constructed a temple near the Saramkutri Al (the
banyan tree where Manikandan’s bow was struck).
This information was conveyed to Devendran by sage Narada. The sage also told him that the king would
get blessing equal to conducting 1000 Aswametha Yagas (performing Yagnaa 1000
times) if he constructs a temple for Manikandan. As per the religious rule, 100 Yagnaas are
sufficient for achieving the post of Devendran.
But the King Rajasekharan would be doing 1000 such Yagnaas and “because
of this he will get more than even very superior to Devendran”, he
thought. Hence he started to give
trouble to the King, but it was in vain.
At last, the king has constructed the temple and he was eligible for a
superior post. He did not like such a
post, but he wanted to attain Paramasivan’s feet and he wanted to be with him
always. He was given so.
