Ganas to take away the valuables from Sundarar in order to examine his devotion.
Instantaneously, there appeared all the Ganas
as hunters, they blocked Sundarar’s way and the entire gifts were stolen by
them. Sundarar was devastated at this
incident and arrived at this temple of Lord Muruganatha Peruman. He solemnly prayed to Lord, he passionately sung
expressing his anguish and praising the glories of Him. Instantly, the most pleased Lord Shiva appeared
before him and returned him with the valuables stolen by the thieves. In this temple Lord can be seen in the form

and another in a joyful form after receiving the lost wealth from Lord.
