"Einmal haben Siddha Thirumoolar, Siddha Padanjali und Siddha Viyagrapathar gemeinsam im Nataraja-Tempel in Chidambaram spirituelle Praktiken vollzogen. Nachdem sie einige Jahre in yogischen Erfahrungen eingetaucht waren, hatten alle drei gleichzeitig die kosmische Vision des Tanzes von Lord Nataraja. Nach dieser göttlichen Erfahrung verschwand Siddha Thirumoolar augenblicklich im Raum von Shiva und verschmolz seine Existenz in das Heiligtum des Tempels in Chidambaram."
