And so Lord Brahma entered Kailash, ready for a long awaited friendly chit-chat with a co-trinity. Lord Shiva was out on his daily tour of the universe and Devi Parvati alone was there. Seeing Lord Brahma from a distance, the divine mother thought that Lord Shiva had returned and rushed to him with materials for required for Paada Pooja.
Lord Brahma stood silent, inwardly enjoying this act of respect. It was then, that Lord Shiva walked in. His anger erupted. Shakti looked up, and seeing the livid face of Lord Shiva, she at once realized her mistake and ran away from the spot.
Lord Brahma became four-headed as we know him today and meekly walked away, his heads hung in shame. However, that was just the beginning of an untold misery for Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was aghast at this unseen complexity. Now he was stuck with the skull on his hand. In his anxiety he asked Agni, the supreme purifier of everything, to blow off the Kapala from his hand. But, however much Agni tried he was unsuccessful. To make it worse, Agni also contracted the Dosha.
Lord Shiva was now terror-struck. He went all around the world searching for a remedy. Go to various Sthala and take bhiksha in the Kapala. The place where the Kapala overflows will be where you will be freed from the Dosha.
Accordingly, Lord Shiva went from one place to another in search for liberation from the curse, as Bikshadanar, bearing the Kapala in his palm. Wherever he got bhiksha, it would immediately disappear on touching the Kapala and the Kapala continued to remain empty. And so, hopping from one place to another he finally came to Thirukkandiyur.
Goddesses Mahalakshmi too came out in all her glory and started emptying bhiksha into the Kapala. The Kapala at once overflowed and fell to the ground Some legends also claim that Lord Maha Vishnu cut his chest and offered the pouring blood into the Kapala.
Shiva was released from the curse at once and thanked Lord Vishnu for his timely help. Situated inside this legendary site is the place where Lord Shiva was liberated from the sins of the Brahman. This practice of delivering salvation to the ancestors at this place is believed to yield eight times more than the expected result.
