THE LORD OF MOUNT KAILASH, SHIVA RACED WITH ALL HIS WEAPONRY TOWARDS THE BATTLEFIELD. HE LOOKED MIGHTY AND FORMIDABLE. HE SAW THADADHAGAI (RAJAMATHANGI) STANDING GRACEFULLY AND ERECT AS A LIONESS. HER EYES WERE LIKE PRECIOUS GEMS AS THEY FEASTED ON THE APPROACHING FORM OF THE LORD OF KAILASH, DRAPED IN TIGER-SKIN AND WITH LONG, THICK PLAITS OF HAIR RUFFLED IN THE BLOWING WIND.
SHE WAS OVERAWED BY HIS MAJESTIC AND FIERCE APPEARANCE.
SHE FELT ENTICED BY HIS GRACE AND COMMAND. OVERCOME BY SHYNESS SHE DROPPED HER WEAPONS TO THE GROUND AND BENT HER HEAD IN BASHFULNESS. THAT VERY MOMENT HER THIRD BREAST VANISHED. THOSE AROUND THEM IN THE BATTLEFIELD WITNESSED THE SCENE WITH AWE AND WONDER. LORD SHIVA WAS OVERCOME BY LOVE AND APPROACHED THADADHAGAI TO CAPTURE HER HAND WHICH SHE WILLINGLY EXTENDED. THE CELESTIAL WEDDING OF LORD SHIVA AND THADADHAGAI/ MEENAKSHI WAS HELD IN MADURAI ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF THEIR DIVINE MEETING.
