Further testing Thayanar's devotion, all fields in the area began to produce only red rice, but Thayanar refrained from consuming it, instead eating green leaves from his garden.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme. + +In the Chola kingdom's Tiruvarur, there lived a devout worshipper named Dandi Adigal. Born without sight, he continually chanted the Panchaksharam and envisioned the Lord inwardly. He regularly visited the temple for pradakshinam and prayers. + +Adigal aspired to expand a temple-side tank, bordered by Jaina residences. Despite his blindness, he resolved to undertake this task, driven by unwavering faith. He ingeniously set up a system with ropes and posts, using them to navigate and execute the digging. His efforts caught the attention of the nearby Jainas, who, envious of his progress, attempted to dissuade him, citing the sin of harming insects during excavation. Undeterred, Adigal confidently asserted that no harm would come to any creature by divine grace. The Jainas, unimpressed, forcefully took his digging tools away. + +Heartbroken, Adigal sought solace in the temple, where the Lord appeared in his dream, promising assistance. Simultaneously, the Lord also visited the king in a dream, urging him to address Adigal's troubles. Subsequently, at a royal assembly, Adigal proclaimed his faith in Lord Siva and declared that divine will could restore his sight while the Jainas might lose theirs. As he emerged from the tank, chanting the holy Panchaksharam, his sight was miraculously restored, and the Jainas were struck blind. Astonished by this divine intervention, the king expelled the Jainas and reinforced the people's faith in the Lord. Dandi Adigal ultimately achieved enlightenment."""
