Being of low birth this aazhvaar was not
allowed to enter the thiruvarangam temple.
One day, as the head priest, ulOgasaaranga
muni, was returning to the temple with a
vessel filled with kaavEri water, he came
across the aazhvaar, standing in the middle
of the road, in a state of trans. Not
realizing the aazhvaar's true nature,
ulOgasaarangar threw a small stone at the
aazhvaar to get his attention. The stone
struck aazhvaar's forehead and he returned
back to this world. Feeling remorseful for
having obstructed the priest's path the
aazhvaar ran away. The priest proceeded to
the temple. There he saw blood oozing out of
Lord ranganaathaa's forehead. That night the
Lord appeared in the priest's dream and asked
him to carry the aazhvaar in his shoulders
and bring him to the Lord. Realizing the
greatness of Azhvaar, ulogasaaranga munivar
was only too happy 4o'[[ $HDRQ!!Y0]file corupt -to be filled
