Once Parasara rishi wanted to cross yamuna river & reach river Ganga.He found a young girl in place of oar man.She agreed to ferry him other side & took him in the boat.On the way Parasarar saw a small island like sand dune with trees around.He took rest for sometime.He was attracted towards her beauty & both of them enjoyed.Later that girl was smelling like flower’s scent instead of the smell of fish.She was worried about her status now & looked towards Parasarar.He too realised his mistake & comforted her saying that a son with black complexion would be born to her & he would bring her name & fame.That child is none other than Veda Vyasa.Now Parasarar was wandering in the banks of Holy river Ganga as a mad person.He heard a voice in the sky,asking him to reach Kanjanur & to worship Karpagambigai & Agneewarar after taking a holy dip at Cauvery .After sometime he reached Kanjanur,bathed in river Cauvery.He worshipped God Shiva & Goddess Uma.He stayed there done penance,.In theTamil month of Masi with star magam,Goddess & God appeared befor e him & taught all the veda sastras to him. Parasara requested for the dancing pose of Shiva.God obliged him in Nataraja pose. Now his confusion in the mind got cleared & became a normal person.He requested to give darshan in Thanadava pose &Daily Abishegam to be performed to him.Here only daily abishegam is performed to Lord Nataraja in granite idol form.In other Shiva temples He is in metalic idol form & yearly some six times only abishegam performed to him. Mandavya, a brahmin was leading a disciplined life with his wife near Godavari river bank.They had 6 sons.After Mandavya’s death,his sons neglected their mother.She died because of hunger.Now mathru hathi dosham caught them & the children born to them died soon.They became very sad & approached Gowthama rishi.He advised them to go to Kanjanur .They reached there,took a holy dip in cauvery ,staying there ,daily worshipped Goddess & Shiva.They have darshan on masi magam.They request God Siva to bless them children with normal life & relieved of their dosha.
