* ArunagirinAthar was directed by Lord MurugA to come to VayalUr after his first song in
ThiruvaNNAmalai. Murugan wanted him to sing his next song with the following themes: His peacock,
His kadamba garland, His spear, His rooster staff, His lotus feet, His twelve shoulders and the town of
VayalUr. This is that unique song.
** In Mount MEru, VEda VyAsa dictated MahabhArathA - the great ithihAsA - while VinAyagA decided
to write it down in palm leaves. In the absence of any writing instrument, VinAyagA broke one of His
tusks and began scribbling MahAbhArathA; so He is known as Ekadhanthan - one tusked.
