Sacred Legends
Legend holds that Indra, the king of the gods, was freed from the Brahmahati dosha (a grave sin) at this temple by Lord Vishnu’s grace. Another important myth speaks of Yagna Sarma, a priest cursed to become a demon, who regained his original form through devotion at this shetram. The temple thus stands as a symbol of redemption and divine mercy.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam
This temple has been praised in the Naalayira Divya Prabandham by Nammaazhwar, specifically in pasuram numbers 3473 and 3568-3578. These hymns beautifully describe the Lord’s grace and the sanctity of Tiruppulinkudi.
