Divine Playfulness-1 (Thiruvilayadal-1)
1.Indra Obsolved of his Sin



During the Kretha Yuga ,Devendran was engrossed in sensual delights of song,dance and dalliance with women in his paradise.Because of these engagements,he failed to respect the Devaguru (Vyazha bagawan).This neglect resulted in the Devaguru's departure from the place ;as a consequence the prosperity dwindled and famine threatened.

Indra  could not find his Guru.He went to Brahma Deva who advised him to adopt Viswaroopan,son of the Asura Guru Thuvatta.Indra requested Viswaroopan to perform a sacrifice (Yaga)for his sake.What he uttered and what he willed inwardly were different.The utterence was voiced as ''Let the Devas prosper'',but inwardly his intended desire was Asuras to prosper and Devas to famish  .Indra sensed this through his divine intuition .So he clipped three of his (Viswaroopan's) heads which became the birds 'kadai' ,'kuruvi' , 'sichili' and flew off.This is a heinous act and a sin (hatti)to be expiated.The Devas are said to have freed him from the sin by distributing it over trees,oli,water,and women.The news of the killing of Viswaroopan reached his father .He was seized with uncontrollable fury.He performed a yaga and created a huge heartless monster 'Vridhra sooran' from the yaga.Thuvattu commanded him to kill Indra .Indra was defeated in the battle .Later,with the weapon made from the backbone given by Thatheesi,he went to war with Vridhra sooran who hid in the sea as though performing penance.


On Indra's request Sage Agasthya drained the sea by drinking it off .Vridhra sooran was exposed and was beheaded ,and his blood filled the ocean.Again,Indra was seized by a sin of Brahmahatti.

As advised by Vyazha Bagawan ,he came to earth and went on pilgrimage to Thirukadavoor,Kasi,Kanchi and reached Kadamba forest (Kadambavanam)where he constructed a dome and worshipped Lord Somasundarar ecstatically and was released from the sins.

Then he returned to heaven with Indrani and ruled thereafter,Thus worshipping Lord Somasundaram at Madurai,he was absolved of all his sins.

Thiruvilayadal -15 The Meru beaten with Chendu (weapon)

Thiruvilayadal -15. The Meru beaten with chendu Ugrakumar Pandian was performing Monday austerities  (somavara) regularly and as instructed by Sage Agasthiyar and his wife Kanthimathi bore him a child ,Veerapandian .Again because of improper planetary movements ,famine resulted and the people suffered greatly. Lord Somasundarar appeared in Pandian's dream and said that it was not possible to get the rains now .So ,he must go to the cave in Maha meru which contain inexhaustible wealth .He had to tame the arrogance of Meru by beating it with a Chendu. Waking up,Ugrapandian accordingly with the four branches of his army challenged Meru.Meru was lethargic .So he beat the Meru with the chendu .Meru trembled and its temples exploded .The Meru with eight shoulders and four heads and white umbrella bowed down  to the Pandian.He said to the Pandian that he used to worship Lord Somasundara and Goddess Meenakshi regularly .But because of his attachment to a woman ,h...
