Aiyadigal Kaadavarkon

Описание: Aiyadigal Kaadavarkon was a ruler of the Kadava dynasty and was ruling from Kanchipuram. Later he became the 46th Nayanar Saint in Tamil Nadu.

Kanchipuram, the capital of Pallavas is known as the city of active power. The king Aiyadigal Kaadavarkon worshiped Shiva with faith and devotion and ruled his kingdom with his royal stick of justice i.e., the Justice of Shiva. As a brave warrior and courageous king, he protected the Shiva and other Hindu temples and cared his land and people and infused the spirit of Saivism into their minds. The king was fluent in Tamil and Sanskrit languages and his knowledge of Tamil and Sanskrit has been the source of Tamil hymns on Shiva.

The king found that ruling the country was a hindrance to his progress towards Shiva and to his Saivite duties and services. He crowned his son and made him to continue as an administrator in according to his principles. Thereafter he renounced the world and left for continuous pilgrimage to Shiva temples. Wherever he goes, he used to compose Tamil hymns on Shiva. After worshiping many Shiva temples, he reached Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram. He stayed there and was melted with the cosmic dance of Nataraja. Finally the saint merged with Shiva in the dancing court.
