t that time the cheif in the Naduvazhi (landlord) lineage was "Ayyankara Illath Vazhunnavar”.He was unhappy as he had no child. His wife Padikutty Antharjanam was a devotee of Lord Shiva.She offered several things as sacrifice to the God. One day Padykutty had a dream, in the dream she saw the Lord. The very next day Padykutty who was returning after a bath saw a pretty child lying in a flower bed. She took the child home and brought him up as her own dear son.
handan's wife who came there seeking for her husband saw the old man and her husband, cried broken heartedly. At the sight of that old man at the top of the palm tree, she called "MUTHAPPA ". (as if addressed to a grandfather). She earnestly prayed to God to save her husband.Before long chandhan regained consciousness.
