They requested him to get married for doing the vEdhic rituals. The slave of the Lord who reduced the king of lust to ashes, with all his mind in the meditation of mahEsh did not wish to get married. His father still appealed to him that he should lead the charitiful family life as prescribed in the scriptures as he sang the vEdhic discipline. For upholding the tradition champan^dha piLLaiyAr agreed for that showing that the married life is also a proper nice way for the worship of the Lord.

For the marriage of the devotee of grown love they grew grains at the begining of the function. From that day on the clouds of perfumed smoke from burning agil and other incense substances were creeping in the roads of chIrkAzi.

The devotees and relatives took the prospering wrist thread that the groom should wear all around the town in a procession and wound it in the soft wrist of champan^dhar in the morning of that great day.

The pure, love and cool hearted devotees including thirun^Ilan^akkar, murugar, thirun^IlakaNta yAzppANar, shivapAda hR^idayar, n^ambANdAr n^ambi entered the bliss along with their families and relatives. Finally the glow of shaivam along with his wife prostrating and circumambulating the Glow entered in Him to be one. Immediately the glow disappeared from the temple. The people who did not enter it were shocked, wondered. The dEvAs praised from the heavens. Salutations to the Lord of champan^dhars heart-stealing wonderful devotional truth-telling thamiz.
