==Life==
The life of Pugazh Thunai Nayanar is described in the ''Periya Puranam'' by Sekkizhar (12th century), which is a hagiography of the 63 Nayanars.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Puranam of Pukazhtthunai Nayanar )〕
Pugazh Thunai Nayanar was born in Seruviliputhur (Ceriviliputthur), presently known as Alagaputhur and located in the Thanjavur district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. He belonged to Adi Shaiva sub-sect of Shaivism and belonged to the Brahmin (priest) caste. The Nayanar was a staunch devotee of Shiva, the patron god of Shaivism. He worked as the pujari (temple priest) at the Shiva temple. The temple is identified as Padikasu Nathar Temple of Alagaputhur. As per his daily priestly duties, he used to bathe (see Abhisheka) the Lingam (aniconic image of Shiva and central icon in the temple) with cool and fragrant water.〔〔〔
Once, a famine struck the region and however continued to fetch water and worship the god. His body became emaciated. Finally, he succumbed to the pangs of hunger and fainted; the pot of water fell on the lingam and broke. Shiva appeared in Pugazh Thunai Nayanar's dream and said that he would leave a gold coin daily as a "daily wage" so that the Nayanar can sustain himself till the end of the famine. Pugazh Thunai Nayanar found a gold coin daily at the foot of Lingam. He continued his services even after the famine till end of his life, when he attained Kailash, the abode of Shiva after death.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sri Padikasu Nathar temple )〕
