Masilamaniswara Temple (மாசிலமணீஸ்வரர் கோயில், திருவாவடுதுறை)[1] is a Hindu temple dedicated to Hindu god Shiva, located in the village Thiruvaduthurai, located 22 km from the South Indian town, Kumbakonam and 14 km from Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu. It is one of the shrines of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams. The temple is referred to in the verses of Tevaram, the 7th century Tamil Saiva canon by Tirugnana Sambandar, Appar and Sundarar.

Legend

Legend associates the temple with the saivite saint Tirumular (6th century CE).{{sfn|Schottenhammer| 1997| pp= 299-300}} Tirumular saw a herd of cows lamenting the death of their herdsmen named Moolan. Being a siddha, he entered into the body of Moolan, came back alive to serve as the herdsman.{{sfn|Schottenhammer| 1997| pp= 299-300}} It is believed that he was coming from North to South India to meet sage Agastya. When he went back to the place where he left his original body, he did not find it. Considering it as a divine play, he continued to remain in the body of Moolan for the rest of his life.[2] As per another legend, Parvathi was cursed to become a cow and she worshipped Shiva to attain her original form.[3] The legend is closely associated with this temple, but is also associated with other temples like Thenupuriswarar Temple at Patteswaram, Aavoor Pasupatheeswaram and Tirukogarnam near Pudukkottai.{{sfn|Schottenhammer| 1997| pp= 299-300}}

"இடரினும் தளரினும் எனதுறுநோய்

தொடரினும் உனகழல் தொழுதெழுவேன்

கடல்தனில் அமுதொடு கலந்தநஞ்சை

மிடறினில் அடக்கிய வேதியனே

இதுவோஎமை ஆளுமா றீவதொன்றெமக் கில்லையேல்

அதுவோவுன தின்னருள் ஆவடுதுறை அரனே."

{{sfn|Tirugnanasambandar|2002|pp= 8-10}}

translating to

"when I am undergoing sufferings.

when I am depressed in spirits.

when my big karmams follow me I shall wake up from sleep worshipping your feet.

Civaṉ who gave out the Vētams and who controlled the poison which was mixed with the nectar in the ocean of milk and made it stay in the neck!

Civaṉ in Āvaṭutuṟai!

if there is nothing to give to us.

is this way you admit us as your protege?

is your sweet grace like that?".{{sfn|Moondram Thirumurai, Thiruvaduthurai|2012}}
