One of the 63 Nayanmars held in great regard by Saivism is Siruthonda Nayanar. It should be noted that he was a subordinate of Narasimha Pallavar, the general who overthrew Pulikesi II. In Tiruchengotangudi, Kaveri Valanat, Paranjothiyar was conceived in the clan of his maternal brothers. He received lifelong instruction in the scriptures, literature, and arts. He is also an accomplished rider of horses and elephants. He came to understand that contemplating and appreciating Shiva's art is the true virtue as he continued to study the spiritual arts nonstop. He naturally prefers to sort things out.
Under the Pallavas, Narasimha led the troops and was revered by the King. For the benefit of the monarch, he invaded the north, destroyed the city of Vadabi, and brought to Tamvendan a variety of valuables, wealth, elephants, horses, and other animals. The monarch was in awe of his valour. The officials who had a good understanding of Paranjothiyar at the time exclaimed, "O king!" They claimed that no one could defeat him in combat because he is motivated by the desire to show kindness to Lord Shiva. When Vendan heard the news, he said, "Don't feel like Umber Bran's servant; I have done bad work; I had left him on the front lines of battle, said to Paranjothiyar, Emperuman; I have to admit my error."
