Somanatha Pashana Lingeswarar Temple, Timiri

Radhakrishna followed the instructions as per Nadi and searched for the pashana lingam concealed at the Thimiri Fort Somanatha Easwara Temple tank at a depth of 32 feet.

[4] All the instructions on how to construct the temple, materials that should be used for the flagpole, their significance, the special benefits that the lingam would confer on visitors etc.

Being very pious and caring, the King Sadhashivaraya discussed this with 'Raja Panditha Sironmani, Manthira Vaidhya Kesari' Kannika Parameswara Andhanar, who was the Raja vaidhyar (doctor) of his kingdom.

In the Tamil month of Thai's Arudhra star of 1379 A.D., the lingam's pradhishtai was carried out inside the Thimiri fort by Sringeri Mutt's 12th Sankarachariyar, Shri Vidhyaranya Swamigal.

Since the lingam was made on both Agama and Siddha medicine rules, the Abhishega theertham served the purpose of curing diseases.

The Lingam and the shield were placed within a triangular box that was created with geographic principles and hid it in the temple tank in the year 1454 A.D.

The Muslim soldiers, who heard about their escape from the spies, captured them and brought them to Sri Renukambhal temple at Aanaimalloor near Timiri.

At the time of being trampled by the elephant, Kannika Parameswarar swore on Lord Shiva that if at all he has another birth he will rescue the lingam and will reinstall it.

[9] The fact that all these information about the pashana lingam are found in the Thiruvaavaduturai Adheenam's work, Skandar Manimaalai Sadhagam is worth mentioning.

When those with nervous disorders, heart problems and hypertension touch the dvajasthamba of this temple and worship it, it gives them a shock treatment.

When pure water, honey, milk, sacred ash, bilva leaves, rock candy and other medicinal products listed by Sage Agasthya in the nadi leaves, are offered to the pashana lingam through sacred ablution and consumed with devotion, the skin problems, mental problems, diabetes, hypertension and nervous disorders encountered these days, will be cured.
