Despite his wealth and involvement in worldly affairs, he remained deeply committed to serving Shiva Bhaktas (devotees of Lord Shiva). He practiced the sacred ritual of Maaheswara Puja, which involved reverently welcoming and serving Shiva Bhaktas, believing that serving them was as important as worshipping Lord Shiva himself. + +Desiring to devote himself more fully to this service, Amaraneedi Nayanmar moved to Tirunallur with his family, where he built a Mutt for accommodating Shiva Bhaktas.

Instantly, equilibrium was achieved between the two scales. This demonstrated that the value of Amaraneediar's devoted and altruistic service to the devotees of Lord Shiva was on par with the significance of Lord Shiva's Kowpeenam. + +Witnessing this, the people around were amazed, and the Brahmachari revealed his true form as Lord Shiva, accompanied by Mother Parvathi. They blessed Amaraneedi Nayanmar and his family for their sincere service and charity, granting them eternal residence in Shiva’s Abode. The balance they were weighed on transformed into a celestial vehicle, carrying them to the divine realm.

As the daughter grew and reached marriageable age, she was betrothed to Eyarkon Kalikamar, another sincere devotee of Lord Shiva. The wedding was planned, but before it could take place, Lord Shiva decided to bestow a special blessing upon Manakancharanar. Assuming the guise of a Maha-Vrathiar, a holy man with distinctive ash markings and a garland of bones, Lord Shiva appeared before Manakancharanar. Inquiring about the festive preparations, the ascetic learned of the impending wedding and expressed a desire for the bride's hair to make a Panchavati, a sacred thread. Without hesitation and disregarding the potential consequences, including the possibility of the groom rejecting his disfigured daughter, Manakancharanar cut off his daughter's hair and offered it to the ascetic. Immediately after, Lord Shiva revealed his true form to Manakancharanar and his family, blessing them. -When Eyarkon Kalikamar and his party arrived and learned of the incident, they were initially dismayed, but Lord Shiva, understanding the situation, miraculously restored the daughter's hair.

He and his wife, Tattai, were blessed with a child named Tinnanar, who was believed to be the reincarnation of Arjuna. Tinnanar, raised as a hunter, excelled in archery and succeeded his father as the king at a young age.

On the sixth day, while at his usual quest to gather food for Lord Shiva, Tinnanar encountered ominous signs. In his selfless devotion, Tinnanar was more concerned for the deity than for himself and these signs sparked a fear that something untoward had befallen the Lord! Upon reaching the temple, he was devastated to find blood flowing from the deity's right eye. In his grief, he dropped all the worship items and tried to treat the deity's eye with herbs, but the bleeding persisted. Driven by a thought of equivalent sacrifice --- ‘flesh for flesh’ --- he removed his own right eye with an arrow and placed it on the deity, and the bleeding miraculously stopped. Overwhelmed with joy and dancing in ecstasy, he now noticed the deity's left eye bleeding. He was clear on how to stop this bleeding --- but how would he place the second eye having lost his vision? He planted his foot over the deity's left eye on the Lingam to guide himself! Just as he was about to extract his left eye, Lord Shiva intervened, grasping his hand and affectionately addressing him as Kannappa (thrice), thus transforming Tinnanar into Kannappar. The Lord held him close, restoring his vision and granting him a divine status.

In Kannamangalam, a part of the Chola kingdom, there was a wealthy Vellala named Thayanar who exemplified the ideal householder life, as praised by the saint Tiruvalluvar. Thayanar was a devoted follower of Lord Siva, expressing his devotion through a daily ritual of offering food made of red rice, a red herb sauce, and mango pickle to the deity. This humble offering was a symbol of his deep faith. However, Thayanar's faith was to be tested by Lord Siva. Suddenly, he found himself in poverty, and despite this, he continued his ritual by working and earning red rice as wages. He maintained his devotion by consuming inferior khar rice, reserving the red rice solely for the deity. Further testing Thayanar's devotion, all fields in the area began to produce only red rice, but Thayanar refrained from consuming it, instead eating green leaves from his garden. When even these leaves withered away, Thayanar subsisted on water alone, his focus unwavering from his worship. -One day, while weak and emaciated, Thayanar fell while carrying his offering to Lord Siva, spilling it on the ground. Distraught, he believed he had committed a grave sin and begged for the Lord's forgiveness, threatening to end his own life with a sickle if the Lord did not accept his spilled offering. This extreme act of devotion touched Lord Siva, who intervened just as Thayanar was about to harm himself.

He believed fervently that those who sought refuge in Lord Shiva would be absolved of their sins and attain His divine abode. Despite his virtuous life, Neelakanta once succumbed to lust and visited a prostitute. His pious wife discerned this but chose to serve him as usual, resolving privately to abstain from sexual relations with him. When Neelakanta approached her passionately, she swore by Lord Neelakanta and inadvertently used "us" instead of "me." Taking her words to heart and their vow to Lord Shiva, Neelakanta decided never to touch any woman again, a testament to his deep devotion. The couple lived on, keeping their vow secret. As they aged, Lord Shiva chose to unveil Neelakanta's spiritual greatness. Disguised as a Shiva Yogi, Lord Shiva entrusted Neelakanta with a special bowl, claiming it could purify anything it touched. Later, when Lord Shiva returned for the bowl, he miraculously made it disappear, leading Neelakanta to admit its loss. Accused of theft and unable to touch his wife due to their vow, the situation escalated to a court hearing. -At the court, Neelakanta revealed their secret of celibacy. As they held the ends of a stick and immersed themselves in a tank, a miracle occurred. They emerged youthful and radiant. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathy then appeared, declaring that due to their self-control and devotion, Neelakanta and his wife would live eternally youthful in the divine abode. This story showcases the power of devotion, celibacy, and the unassuming nature of true virtue.""" +At the court, Neelakanta revealed their secret of celibacy.

Appar himself, unaware of Appudi's devotion, stumbled upon one of the water-sheds named after him during his travels. Curious, he visited Appudi, asking him as to why he named the shed after some person rather than himself. Not recognizing Appar, Appudiyadigal indignant at this question, passionately defended the name's significance, recounting the the spiritual triumphs and miracles of Thirunavukkarasu Swamigal! Appar, a true and humble bhakta, then revealed his identity, merely recounting himself as a humble soul who sought Shiva's feet owing to a colic disease, and returned to Shavism, having been cured by the Lord.
