who is an ardent Siva devotee is called Meiporul Nayanar, He is one
of a 63 men of god called Nayanmargal.
Meiporul
Nayanar was a King of Thirukkovilur and Siva devotee par excellence.
He had control over the hill tribes of Sethi. He was consider
courteous and courageous in his kingship to the country. He was the
man of god to the citizen of the kingdom. He is belonged to the
Malayamān dynasty which is related to the Vellalars clan of
agriculturalists. His name "Meiporul" means "one for
whom God was the sole reality". Miladudaiyar is a title
indicating him being a Miladu chief.
Meiporul Nayanar was a devout devotee of the Lord
Siva. Being well versed in the Agamas, he was living to Saivite ways
of life adorned with Rudraksham and Veboothi signified the Absolute
Truth. Everything to him was Lord Siva 'Sarvam Sivamayam'. He served
to the Lord Siva temples as well as his devotees (Siva Yogis). He
organized elaborate pujas in Siva temples. The kingdom flourished
along with Saivism and the humanistic discipline. His neighbouring
countries were very jealousy on Nayanars ruling method and the
kingdom's prosperity. Muthanathan, the king one of his neighbouring
countries, became greedy of Tirukkoyilur's prosperity. He attacked on
Tirukkoyilur many times, but was beat out by Nayanar's troops. The
king Muthanathan was thinking so long time and he decided to send a
spy secretly to Thirukkoyilur to watch on the Nayanars actions in
details. consequently he sent a soldier to Thirukoyilur, and all the
actions verified and Muthanathan getting the news every minute.
Accordance Muthanathan arrived in Tirukkoyilur, changed himself as a
Saiva ascetic (yogi). The guards let him through and finally he
reached the king's bed room, guarded by minister Dathan. While Dathan
was telling the ascetic from entering since the king was taking
rest,however Muthanathan compelling that he wanted to teach the
king the knowledge of gaining liberation. Dathan let him through; the
queen got up and seeing the ascetic enter and awakened
the king
Nayanar. Muthanathan said “O my dear devotee Lord Siva himself
instructed me to teach the liberation hymn to you, so I am here to
incite the hymn to my beloved staunch devotee, by the way I wish to
teach you secretly for that we need some privacy” Heard this Dathan
had a little suspicious mind so he hidden himself and watching him.
According the Siva yogis request Nayanar sent off his queen and
other guards. He placed to the fake yogi Muthanathan on a high seat,
while he sat at the feet of ascetic. Muthanathan quickly removed a
knife hid with him and stabbed the king. Dadhans doubt came true he
came out from his hidden place and rushed to the king's chamber and
attacked the ascetic. As Dathan was about to strike the ascetic with
his sword, the Nayanar stopped him and said “for a Saiva, the
ascetic whoever may be he is related to Lord leave him “ and
ordered him to ensure the ascetic is escorted unharmed to the
boundary of the kingdom. Dathan accompanied Muthanathan outside the
city and left him in an abandoned forest, where no one could harm
him. Dathan returned to the king and conveyed the news of the safety
of the ascetic. Meiporul Nayanar called his minister, wife and kin to
his death-bed and advised to all “It is our duty to serve Siva
devotees, and they must be honoured and worshipped at all times and
under any circumstances. Let our people walk in the footsteps of the
Siva devotees. Let the country be flooded with Siva devotees, by
their blessings, let peace and prosperity sovereignty to this
country”. With these words, he closed his eyes and meditated on
Lord Siva. Lord pleased with his intensive and pure devotion,Siva
Sakthi appeared in front of him and blessed the Nayanar with his
highest abode..
The samadhi of Meiporul Nayanar is at the Siva
temple at Thirukkovilur. It is dedicated to the great victory of Lord
Siva over Andhakasura, the demon of darkness. The temple is ancient
in age and glorified in the Thevaram and other Saiva Thirumurais.It
is one of the “Padel Petra Siva Sthalam”
