There is a rare uoorthuvajanu & Dandapaksha karana sculpture in mazhapaadi temple - I had written about it in PS group - it was discoverdd by Dr.kalaikkovan. refer a detailed article in varalaaru.com one of the previous issues
Is the same balambika that kalki refers in PS , a good piece of humour through Adita karikalan, connecting paluvetairyar & Nadhini. with the incident of sundarar refusing to sing on virthambal & viruthikeeswarar ..
dear Meena thiru muthu kundram ( vridachalam)means old this hill was formed before and vanished before the rest the rock bed below the temple is given as evidence. however the name old is added as prefix to the god and amman sundarar refuses to sing here because he is irritated by the name. why sing about an old man? so another idol- balambika is installed and sundarar sings
what does he sing? he asks for gold for his dancer wife then he drops the gold in the mani muthar here and picks it up in thiruvarur temple tank- kamalalayam.
(so tamils first thought of speed transfer of funds)
co incidentally balaambika is the name of the second amman in malapaaadi and thirukadaiyur( perhaps they meant junior amman)
I remember seeing two ambaal's in Karur temple.... i do not remeber the names now.... is similar junior senior ambaal concept there in pasupatheesarar temple???
aana enakku therinju moolavare niraiya irukkira koil rendu ... onnu is Tiruvotriyur.... lot of names for sivan..... putridamkondaar, thyagesar, aadipureeswarar etc etc....
second one is our Kandhaswami koil ..... appappa eththanai moolavar... idhula koothu enanna andha koilukulla periya kulam vera irukku... velile irundhu paatha avvalavu periya kulathai andha koil thannulle adakkindu summaa irukkaradhu theriyaadhu...ellaam moolavaroda magimai... five thozhilayum panra avan onnum theriyadhavan maadhiri irukkaan......
if at all , third one might be our Aarupadai veedu at Besant Nagar...
ashta lakshmi koil cannot be counted in this as the main thaayaar is none other than our Karunaikadal Mahalakshmi.... koodave ottikinu namma perumal....
Thanks for the info. Sundarar is irritated may be because he might have remembered the way God Siva came there in the guise of an old Brahmin at his wedding ..J
