Melmaruvathur miracle
Once there lived a disciple in Cheyyur. He used to do service in Melmaruvathur temple often. One day he died. His wife rushed to Adigalar and surrendered to him totally. She wept and begged him for her husband’s soul.
Adigalar told her, “I will come to your rescue because you didn’t go to hospital and did not seek others help. You approached me with full confidence.” Then he gave a lemon to her and asked her to pour the essence to his mouth. She did as he said. And at once he stood up as though he slept till that time.
Then he lived for ten more years and did service to the temple. It is believed by devotees that Bangaru Adigal is none other than the super power mother Devi Adhiparasakthi herself.
Song 22 in Adhiparasakthi thirupalliezuchi (a song sung to wake up the goddess in the early morning) has this information
செய்யூரில் வாழுமொரு சீருடைய தொண்டனவன்
விதிநாள் முடிந்த போது
உய்யவழி காணாமல் அவன்மனைவி அழுதோடி
நின்தாளில் வந்து வீழ்ந்தாள்
தையலவள் தாலிககும் தொண்டனவன் பத்திக்கும்
உவந்து நாள்நீட்டித் தந்தாய்
வெய்யவினை போக்கமேல் மருவூரில் குடிவந்த
மயிலே உன்விழிகள் திறவாய்!
