a master of the yazh, the ancient Tamil harp. His whole life was to play and sing the praise of Siva. In those days men of the bard community were not allowed inside the temple, so at every shrine he stood outside the gateway and played.\n\nOnce he came to Madurai with his wife Mathanga Choolamaniyar and played at the gate of the Thiru Aalavai temple. That night the Lord appeared in the dreams of the devotees of Madurai and commanded, 'Bring our bard into the temple.' The next day the devotees led him inside with honour.\n\nAs he sat on the floor before the sanctum and played, a voice rang out from the sky: 'The damp of the floor will spoil the strings of his yazh. Place a golden plank for him.' The devotees brought a golden plank. The man who had not been allowed to enter the temple now sat on a seat of gold before the Lord and played.\n\nLater he became the musical companion of Thirugnanasambandar, playing on his yazh the hymns Sambandar sang. He too merged into the light that appeared at Sambandar's wedding.\n\nIn Achcho Pathigam Manikkavasagar sings, 'He made even us into something of worth and seated a dog in a palanquin.' The Lord seated on a golden plank one whom the world had set aside as unworthy. Seeing such grace, what can one do but marvel: 'Who else could receive grace like this?
