| KulasEkaraazhvaar was a sEraa king. He had a
special reverence for Lord Rama. One day he
was listening to the story of Rama. Azhvaar
was completely immersed in the story that he
became part of the story itself. He decided
to help Rama in his quest to defeat Ravana.
KulasEkaraazhvaar ordered his generals to get
his army ready so that they can immediately
go to Lanka and fight Ravana along side Rama!
Envious of the support aazhvaar was giving to
sri vaishnavas some of his ministers stole
royal jewels and accused the sri vaishnavaas
of the crime. To prove the innocence of the
sri vaishnavaas, aazhvaar put his hand in a
vessel containing a cobra. The cobra is said
to have climbed out of the vessel without
harming the aazhvaar. The ministers then
confessed to the crime absolving the sri
vaishnavaas.
