Legend has it that while Sundarar was traveling near the banks of the Kollidam river, he briefly forgot to visit the temple at Thirumazhapadi. Lord Shiva appeared in his dream and affectionately asked, "Have you forgotten to come to Mazhapadi?" Overwhelmed by this divine reminder, Sundarar rushed to the temple and poured his heart out in this hymn, which remains a cornerstone of literature. Ponnar Meniyane Lyrics: English Transliteration
