Rather I will hold on to it forever."

Pillai Perumal Iyengar  says that the Lord of Thiruvelliangudi removed the Brammahaththi curse of begging, that the resident of Himalayan moutains covered under snow, namely Lord shiva had to undertake. Even the learned pundits of the this ocean surrounded earth, which did not measure up to one feet of Lord Trivikrama, may at best partially know the glory of the Lord of Thiruvelliangudi based on the knowledgge they derived from learning scriptures. Pillai Perumal Iyengar  wonder if any one has fully grasped the glory of the Lord of  Thiruvelliangudi.
