1 (# 24) . KUMAARA PURI.
The sun was setting at the west. The devas told Murugan, "Please reside here in a new city which will be built by Viswakarma."
Murugan agreed. The city was named as Thiruch Cheignaloor. The other devas occupied the seats allotted to them and Murugan occupied his throne.
Indra felt relieved since the evil Thaarakan and his ally the crafty Krounja giri had been destroyed. A fairy appeared there. She handed over a bundle to Indra. It contained the jewels of Sasi Devi - which had been given to the fairy for safe keeping.
Indra saw the jewels of his wife and wanted to be with her. The whole night he spent in pangs on love. In the morning he became normal and greeted Murugan.
Murugan wanted to do pooja to Siva and Uma and wanted the various things required for it.
The servants of Indra brought the lamp, incenses, flowers, new silk cloth, ornaments and neivedhyam for the pooja.
A temple was constructed and a Sivalingam was installed there. Siva was pleased with the pooja. He appeared in person with Uma. He blessed everyone there and gave his Rudra paasupatha asthram to Murugan.
