Because of the santamarutham, 8 kodumudigal (parts) fell from kailasam into 8 different places which are Thirugonamalai, Sri Lanka, Thirukalahasti, Thiruchiramalai, Thiruengoimalai or Thiruenkoimalai, Rajathagiri, Neerthagiri, Ratnagiri, and Suwethagiri or Thirupangeeli.[1]

Literary Mention edit

Tirugnanasambandar describes the feature of the deity as:[2]

வினையாயின தீர்த்(து)அருளே புரியும் விகிர்தன் விரிகொன்றை

நனையார் முடிமேல் மதியஞ் சூடுநம்பா நலமல்கு
தனையார் கமல மலர் மேல் உறைவான் தலையோ(டு)அனல் ஏந்தும்

எனை ஆளுடையான் உமையாளோடும் ஈங்கோய் மலையாரே.
