    Legends of the Nayanmars

    15

    very happy to have a Shiva devotee to serve and made him


    comfortable and served him piously, and asked him if there is
    anything more that can be done for him. The devotee, said, there
    is one thing which he wanted from Iyarpagaiyar. On hearing
    this, the latter rejoiced that he can be of service to the fellow
    devotee and promised to fulfill his wishes, immediately and
    asked him of his desire.
    The devotee, very calmly replied that he desired the
    beautiful wife of Iyarpagaiyar and wanted her. Iyarpagaiyar

    agreed and assured that having given his word, it would be his
    solemn duty to escort him safely to the towns outskirts. On
    their way, they were stopped by the angry relatives who had
    come heavily armed. They warned the devotee to let go of the
    wife of Iyarpagaiyar.
    Iyarpagaiyar intervened and tried to convince them that it
    was he who had willingly accepted to send his wife. This further
    incensed the relatives as it is extremely derogatory to their moral
    values. The efforts of Iyarpagaiyar to convince his relatives failed
    and his warning that he might harm them if they try to attack
