( Evvullil Urangalam ) (Vul – means a place) For this, Saalihothirar asked him that he can sleep in his hut itself and he will do the Paadha seva to him. Saalihothirar gave all of the food to the old muni. But, the old muni (the Perumal) wanted all of the rice to eat. He was offered only a quarter part of the rice. On seeing him, Saalihothirar greeted him and made him to sit, facing East direction. He seems to be so hungry and thirsty and as if he has travelled a long way. He waited for some Adhithi (A Guest, probably a muni or rishi) to come, so that he can offer them something to eat and after that, he can finish the fasting.Īt that time Sriman Narayanan came there as an old muni, keeping Kamandalam in this right hand and an umbrella in his left hand and chappel on his feet. ![]() Then he cooked that and some part of the rice is did Naivedhyam to God and after it is done, he kept the rest of the rice for himself to eat.
