 Sadaiya Nayanar sent a delegation of elders to Sadangkavi of Putthoor - a Shaiva Brahmin like Sadaiya Nayanar - to ask for his daughter's hand for Nambi Arurar.After deliberations with the elders, Sadangkavi agreed to the match and conveyed his acceptance of the marriage proposal via the elders to Sadaiya Nayanar.On the anointed way, the bridegroom and his wedding party reached Putthoor, however, Shiva appears as an aged Brahmin and breaks the wedding and takes Nambi Arurar to Thiruvennainallur, arguing Nambi Arurar is his bonded labour as per a contract signed by his grandfather Arurar.
