Kaliyan

Traditional Kali (Kaliyan in Tamil) was the sixth fragment of the primordial manifestation of Kroni (evil) according to Akilathirattu, the source of Ayyavazhi mythology and the holy book of Ayyavazhi religion.

Unlike other previous manifestations, Kali spread in this yugam (yukam in Tamizh) as maya (illusion).

As the time is close to the ascendancy of Kali Yuga, a sage named Guru Muni told Shiva, "Your greatness, the Kroni was created and fragmented into six parts.

However, because none of them obeyed you, all were destroyed by Vishnu(Mayon/Thirumal in Tamizh), and his spirit (the spirit Vishnu took only in the Avatars) was kept in Parvatha Ucchi Malai (In Sanskrit 'uccha' means high, in Tamil 'malai' means mountain).

Needs Sanskrit equivalent), Devas of Deiva Lokam, the members of Vaikunta Lokam Kinneras(Kina nathar in Tamizh), Kimpurusha(Kimburudar in Tamizh),and members from all other worlds.

The conclave repeated that, Vishnu was dead lying (without any activities) in the lower world (Earth).

The proposal was accepted unanimously by the Devas, chiranjeevin sages, and the brahmins, those who read scriptures.

Chithra Buthira described Kali thusly: "He was born from the sixth fragment of Kroni.

After hearing this, Shiva asked Chitra Buthira to tell about Kali's lifespan, qualities, and power.

Buthira said, "Because [Kali] was born without the instrumentality of normal human parentage, all the 96 Tatvas in his physique are rude and unrefined.

He will have a life span of about a hundred years, and he will attain maturity at the age of fourteen.

Kali's body, which was built up with blood, bone, veins and muscle, are made of water and earth, and this is used for nothing (useless).

So some of the spooked witnesses headed to Kailasham and told Shiva that Kali was unable to come out, and the earth was suffering because of that failure.

Kali, asking the devas or a third party, said, "Is that fellow ready to give me what I need, because he wears a snake on his neck and ash on his forehead, and because he sits on an elephant skin?"

(This is an allusion to when Shiva appeared in a form of endless lingam of light when there was a dispute between Mayon and Nathan as to who is the greatest and in order to subdue their pride.)

Kali replied, "If he was the one who made the world, ask him to create a beautiful girl for me."

She replied, "You must satisfy all of Kali's requests, but the fulfillment should be performed under technique."

Shiva provided those boons in a roundabout way: he created a man named Agastya(Agatheesar in tamizh, Agasthyar in Grantha Tamizh) with his mind, so that the boons would be given through that man.

Having done this, Shiva ordered the newly made Agastya to give Kali all of the boons that he had claimed.

Obeying this, Agastya Rushi offered all the boons to Kali and taught him all of the subjects, including the 'Technique of Living Forever'.

Among the boons reportedly given (or sold to) Kali, according to Agastya, were the Chakram and Crown of Vishnu.

The boons were:[1][2] He asked that by these techniques he might live in this world with the dynasty of people born from his semen.

Meanwhile, Vishnu, in the form of an old beggar (Pantaram in Tamizh) on his way to say good-bye to Shiva, met with Kali.

Vishnu responded, "Promise on your boons, kingdom, your lady, your military and your dynasty."

By this point, Vishnu had asked the Devas to write down all the happenings perfectly, and he was already walking towards Vaikuntam.

Upon seeing the two newcomers, all the good animals, birds, reptiles, and even ethics (Neethi in Samskrtham) quit the world.

As the wicked Kali came to the world, the ocean waves became angry and washed away many parts of land.

There the eldest one among Pancha pandavas, Yudhishthira asked the Dharma Neethi "If all of you have gone away, how can we get to Vaikuntam?".
