Shivakama Sundari is a form of Ma Shakti Devi, and she appears along with Lord Nataraja in the Chidambaram temple. Vyaghrapada was one of the great rishis in Hinduism, and he is a sincere devotee of Lord Shiva, and Ma Parvati, and he used to worship both ofthem regularly, and he would never take his food without worshipping them.
Vyaghrapada used to pluck flowers, in order to offer it to Lord Shiva in the temple of Chidambaram. Since, he find it difficult to pluck the powers with his human organs, he prayed to Lord Shiva, and through his grace, his legs had been changed similar to tiger’s legs. Through the tiger legs, he easily moved from one place to another place, and plucked flowers easily from the trees and offered it to Lord Shiva for his worship.
Some of the wonderful songs sung by the great Sage Vyaghrapada, in praise of Ma Shivakama Sundari are as follows:-
