There was a minstrel-a lute player called Pana Bhadra at Madurai and he went to Cheraman with an epistle beginning with "Mathimalipurisai" composed by Lord Siva at Madurai. On receiving the letter of introduction in verse, Cheraman gave him abundant wealth and the minstrel returned to Madurai. To meet Sunthara moorthi Swamigal, Cheraman went to the Chola country, sang a minor poem "Pon Vannaththu Anthathi" at Chidambaram and "Thiru Arur Mummanikkovai" at Thiru Arur. He was the guest of Suntharar for some time and visited many shrines in the Chola and Pandya countries. Suntharar paid a visit to Thiruvanjaikkalam, the city of the Cheraman and returned with bounteous wealth. While Suntharar visited the Chera capital for a second time, he mounted on a white elephant and proceeded to KAILAS and Cheraman mounting on a horse followed him. It was in the presence of the Lord that Cheraman presented his poem under the caption "Thirukkailaya Gnana Ula".

In Sirkazhi there lived a Saint called Gananathar who was devoted to the Lord in the temple of Sirkazhi. He maintained flower gardens, and with the flowers he made various kinds of garlands and trained other devotees in this service. He supplied tools needed for this purpose.
