During this moment, he heard a divine voice from the sky (Lord Sivan) who told him that He was the one who made his (Sundara Nathar) body to disappear. To his surprise, his actual body had disappeared away from the tree log nowhere to be found. Then he returned to the place where he left his body, to return to his own body. On waking up from the body of cowherd, the cows became happy and so he navigated them to the village.


He was really touched by the sight of the cows that wept in sorrow and decided to use his Oham (yogic) power and move his soul from his body to that of the dead cowherd's body. He went near to the cows, only to discover that their cowherd, Moolan was dead bitten by a snake. While on his way, near Sathanur Village (a village near Aaduthurai of Cauveri Delta area), he saw a group of cows crying. After spending many years in Mount Kailaayam, he undertook a journey under the order of Lord Sivan to Thamizhakam, to meet his contemporary sage friend Agathiyar in Pothigai Hills (also called Pothiya Hills of ancient Tamil land).

SundaraNathar, as the saint is known, was a Yogi originally from Then Madurai (currently South Madurai - Tamil Nadu) who travelled to Mount Kailaayam and was initiated directly by Lord Sivan.
