"Anantha-Sayanam"
After making his presence before the Swaamiyaar, Lord Sreekrishnan used to take the form of a boy and tease him during "Thevaaran" ("Sandhyaa-Vandanam" and other daily rites). One day when the boy became too naughty, Swaamiyaar pushed him away with the back of his palm and scolded him. The lord was a bit offended and disappeared saying that if he wished to see him again, he will be at "Ananthankaad".
Disturbed by this, Swaamiyaar started searching far and wide and finally found him in "Ananthasayanam" pose with "Bhoolakshmis" near his head and feet. The "Bhagavaan" (Lord) was happy to see him and said he was hungry. Whereupon the Swaamiyaar gathered some tender fallen mangos, crushed them with a stone and served in a coconut shell, and the Lord was happy.
When the Swaamiyaar told the Travancore Mahaaraaja that he had seen the Lord in the Ananthasayanam pose, the king had the trees cut, a temple built and the deified at the spot. But neither was the king willing to release the Swaamiyaar, nor was the Swaamiyaar willing to leave the Lord. The king therefore built a house (Mattham) west of the temple and decided that the Swaamiyaar shall perform "Pushpaanjali" (offering of flowers) to the Lord uninterrupted and this is continued this day by the Swamiyaars of Thrissur Naduvil Madhom and Thekke Madhom.
During "Navaraathri Vaakyaarthha Sadass", a scholar from "Choladesam" was defeated by the Swaamiyaar who put forth the answers by communicating with the Lord. The "Saasthrikal" declared : "Thiruvaayakku Ethirvaayilla" (One cannot contest the divinely spoken words.), prostrated and left.
Though a Keralite, his fame as a poet had spread through the entire country. Bengalis believe that the Swaamiyaar was born in Bengal. Oriyas believe he was born in Orissa. However, the fact remains that he belongs to the Panniyoor Graamam of Kerala State.
