Pancha Krosha Sthalas

The pot containing nectar and the seed of creation was decorated by Lord Brahma with the sacred thread. A coconut was placed over it with mango leaves and Darbha grass and the same was kept on the peak of Mount Meru.

At the time of deluge, the sacred pot was carried by the currents to Kumbakonam where it got tilted. Now Lord Siva came here disguising himself as a hunter and aimed an arrow at the vessel and broke it.

The place from where Lord Siva aimed the arrow at the pot came to be known as Banapuresam (banam means arrow). There is a shrine here for Lord Siva under the name Banapuriswarar.

Due to the impact of the arrow on the pot, the coconut, mango leaves, sacred thread, etc., with which the vessel had been decorated, fell at different places, where we find today shrines dedicated to Siva.

The nectar in the broken pot spread out on the ground up to a distance of 5 Krosas, i.e., 10 miles, and touched the five famous shrines of Siva around Kumbakonam, namely

1. Tiruvidaimarudur, 
2. Tirunageswarm, 
3. Tirudharasuram, 
4. Tiruvoragam and 
5. Tirupadalvanam, 

and hence these five places came to be known as Pancha Krosa Sthalas.

The nectar settled at two places on of which became the famous

1. Mahamakham Tank and 
2. Potramarai Kulam (tank of golden lotuses) of Sarangapani temple. 

From the drops and spray of the nectar, there arose innumerable holy tanks.


Out of the pieces of the broken pot Lord Siva made out a Siva Linga and entered into it. The sthalapurana states that this is the very Linga now enshrined in the temple,  name Adi Kumbeswarar.

and hence the pilgrim is required to visit these places first before entering the temple of Adi Kumbeswarar

Darasuram

Legend: The legend is that Airavata, the white elephant of Indra, worshipped Lord Siva in this temple; so did also the King of Death, Yama. Tradition has it that the presiding deity Airavateswarar cured Yama himself (the God of Death) who was suffering under a Rishi’s curse from a burning sensation all over the body. Yama took a bath in the sacred tank and was rid of the burning sensation. Since then the tank is known as Yamateertham. It gets its supply of fresh water from the river Kaveri and is 228 feet in width. Pilgrims make a point to bathe in the tank.

Pasupathy

Once upon a time, Parvathy wanted to marry Shiva in an earthly marriage with all religious rites on the earth; Brahma, Vishnu and Indira came to earth as acharya in Thiruvaduthurai;

while playing chokkattan (similar to Thaayam), Vishnu won and his sister Parvathy laughed aloud; Lord Shiva was angry and said “Ada pasuve!” and Parvathy was born as a cow on earth; Vishnu became her herder at Therazhundur;

Barathamuni had no children and he prayed the Lord; he was given permission to remove her curse and so he converted her cow shape to a feminine figure at Thiruvavaduthurai;

 she grew up at Kuthalam alias Thiruthuruthi in Bharathamuni’s house;

Lord Shiva came to marry her as promised earlier and Barathamuni received him at Ethirkolpadi;

Shiva performed all the marriage rites / velvi at Velvikkudi before marriage

; then he married Parvathy at Thirumanancheri.

3. Kuthalam.

Shiva hence gets the name ‘Pasupathy’

Narasimhar Sarabeswarar Pratyangira

Lord Vishnu took the Narasimha Avatar to kill the demon king Hiranyakashipu who is the father of Prahlada. After being so furiously fought with so much of power to kill the king, the anger and the fierce of Narasimha didn't come down. With so much of hyper Narasimha couldn’t make out between good and bad people and started disturbing everyone and no one could control him.

People prayed Lord Shiva Durga to save them. Lord Shiva took form or Avatar as Sarabeswara, with lion’s face and eagle’s wings.

Durga accompanied Lord Shiva in the form of Sri Maha Prathyangira Devi seated on one of the wings of Sri Sarabeswara.

They went and subsided Narasimha’s anger

to bring back peace at Narasinganpettai where Narasimha , after realising His mistake worshipped Linga Murthi of Shiva Durga

then took the form of yoga narasimha
