Sundarar, the Companion Disciple, and Lord Shiva

Sundarar also has the names Vanthondar (Firm disciple) and Thambiran Thozhan. He was the one who sang about Thiruthontar who was responsible for the creation of Periyapuranam. Thambiran was also known as a companion. Friendly actions form the article. Alala Sundarar was doing service to Lord Shiva at Thirukkayilai. He used to go to the garden every day, pluck flowers and offer it to the Lord. He performed the ritual of offering garlands to the Lord and standing with Sacred Ash. One day when he went to the garden, the two friends of Goddess Parvati, Aninthithai and Kamilini, came there. Sundarar was in love with both of them and enjoyed themselves. Therefore, there was a delay in taking the flower and going to the Shiva Shrine. Realizing this, Lord Shiva told them that to cherish the fullest of love they should go to earth and be born in Tamil Nadu. And from they can continue serving the Lord. Thus, the three came and were born in this world with the names Sundarar, Paravai Nachiyar, and Sangili Nachiyar
