Sivanesar's daughter had died, so he kept her ashes near him as he meditated on Sambandar daily. When Sambandar arrived, Sivanesar told him of his daughter. Upon hearing his woes, Sambandar prayed to Lord Shiva, and after singing a hymn praising Shiva, the girl was revived. Sambandar later married the daughter of Nambandar Nambi. At the wedding, many Nayanar saints were present. After marrying, the couple worshipped at the temple, and Sambandar sang a hymn seeking liberation. Lord Shiva granted his wish, so Sambandar and all those present reached Shiva's holy feet.

Unable to bear this tragic news, he collected her ashes in a
bowl and kept it near him while he meditated on Sambandar every day. On learning of the arrival of Sambandar in Thiruvotriyur, he raised an elaborate pavilion between Mylapore and Thiruvotriyur. He met Sambandar and told of his daughter. Sambandar, hearing the woes of this pious devotee, prayed to Lord Shiva to restore the life of the girl. He sang a hymn on Lord Shiva and on reaching the tenth stanza of the hymn the girl came back to her form and life! Everyone present rejoiced on seeing this miracle and praised Sambandar. Sivanesar then offered his revived daughter to Sambandar. However, Sambandar refused his offer citing the reason that now he has a father- daughter relationship with Poompavai. Sivanesar consequently built an ashram for his daughter, where she spent her life meditating on Lord Shiva. Sambandar later reached Seergali and by then, he had reached his sixteenth year. His father, Sivapaada Hrudayaar decided to marry him to the daughter of Nambandar Nambi of Nallur Perumanam. On the day of marriage, Sundarar and his family with other Shiva devotees travelled to Nallur Perumanam and the marriage took place with all gaiety and happiness. Many Nayanar Saints including Thiruneelakanta Yalappanar and Muruga Nayanar were present. After the marriage, the newly married couple went into the temple and worshipped Lord Shiva, completely surrendering their body and soul. Sambandar prayed to Lord Shiva seeking salvation and liberation from the mortal world. He sang the beautiful hymn, Panchakshara Pathigam. Lord Shiva granted his wish and so, Sambandar, his wife and everyone who had witnessed this beautiful wedding reached the holy feet of Lord Shiva.
