Nambiyarurar stayed at Tiruvarur worshiping the Lord and his devotees, singing the Tiruthonda Tokai and other compositions on the Lord manifested there in an anthill. There was a farmer Kundaiyur Kizhar who adored Arurar a lot. He used to supply rice, lentils and other food grains to Sundarar’s house out of reverence. Once the monsoon failed diminishing agricultural production. The farmer-devotee was quite worried how he would serve Arurar in this situation. He spent an anxious night. In his dreams the Lord, easily pleased with devotion, appeared and told that He would supply the rice for Arurar. The next morning, to his amazement, a huge mountain of rice reaching the limits of that town appeared. He praised the Glory of the Lord and the ease with which His Grace was bestowed on His devotees. Realising that the stack of grains was too big for him to deliver at Paravaiyar's house, he surrendered himself to Arurar narrating about the grace of the Lord and his inability to deliver it.

Arurar came with the farmer to his town Kundaiyur and saw the size of the grain heap and surrendered to the Lord at Kolili to arrange for the grain heap to reach Arur. That night by His grace, His lilliput army moved the heap to Arur filling the whole town. Paravaiyar praised His grace, announced that people could take the parts of the heaps within the boundary of their houses and she herself took what was required. The town praised their generosity.

Tampiran Tozhar went to Nattiyathan Kudi on the request of the devotee Kotpuliyar, who worshiped and accorded him hospitality. He offered his two loving daughters Vanappakai and Chingadi as servitors to Arurar. But Arurar accepted them as his own daughters. He praised Kotpuliyar’s love in the Devaram he composed on the Lord of Nattiyathan Kudi. Worshiping the Lord at Valivalam, he returned to Tiruvarur. Paravaiyar required money to donate for the Panguni Uthiram festival. Our Nayanar who would ask only the Lord for his needs went to Tirupukalur, worshiped the Lord and slept outside the temple out of fatigue. When he awoke, he saw the bricks he kept under his head while sleeping had become gold. He sang a Devaram directing the world only to sing about the generosity of God and not about misers in this world. Saluting the Lord at Tirupanaiyur, he brought the golden bricks to Tiruvarur to be used for the donation.

Vanthondar then started on a pilgrimage to salute the various abodes of the Lord who rules all the directions. He worshiped the Lord with immense love at Tirunannilam, Vizhimizhalai, Tiruvanchiyam, Arichir Karaipputhur, Naraiyur Siddhishwaram, Tiruputhur, Tiruvavaduthurai, Idaimarudhu, Tirunageshwaram, Sivapuram, Kalaiya Nallur, Tirukudamukku, Valanychuzhi, Tirunallur, Chotruthurai, Kandiyur, Tiruvaiyaru, Punduruthi, Tiruvalampozhil, Mazhapadi, Tiruvanaikka, Tirupachilachiramam, PainynyIli, Ingoymalai and various abodes on both the banks of river Kaviri. He worshiped the Lord of austerities with the “namashivaya” tirupadikam (devaram) at Tirupandi Kodumudi and sang at many abodes including Kanyshivay Perur where Lord Shiva revealed His cosmic dance and Venychamak Kudal in Kongu land.

The king of Navalur continued his journey, worshiping the Lord at the abodes of Karkudi, Tiruvarai Metrali, Innambar, Purambayam, Kudalaiyatrur and reached Tirumudukunram. There he received 12,000 gold coins as he sang for the Lord. The Lord, who dropped the gold in the river Manimutharu, asked him to collect it in the pond at Tiruvarur. He bowed down to the Lord, who is Love, at Kadambur, Tillai, Karuppariyalur, Mannipadikkarai, Vazhkoli Puttur, Kanattu Mullur, Tiru-edhirkol Padi, Tiruvelvikkudituruthi and made his way to Tiruvarur. He worshiped at the Vidhi Vidangar of Tiruvarur and reached home.
