handesvara Nayanar, in his complete absorption in his worship, could inflict a mortal blow on his own father; but, that was because he saw not his father, but an obstacle to Siva puja. When Arivattaya Nayanar found, for instance, that his weak body was getting unfit to carry on his worship, he was ready to cut his own throat. If Murkha Nayanar chose to gamble and even resort to violence to carry out his vow, Kannappa Nayanar would pull out his own eyes to serve the Lord!
