Ashtaboothi , the brahmana got married to Suseendhra and they both were leading a peaceful married life in Panchala. Later, Sussendhra gave birth to a baby boy. Unfortunately, the child was born with severe disease.
As days passed, there was no relief from that fatal disease. Poor parents travelled across the country and met many vaithiyas ( doctors in sanskrit ) but there was no luck for that parents.
Due to the continuous travelling and extreme sadness about his baby, Ashtaboothi felt exhausted and died suddenly. By losing husband, suseendhra felt sick and didn’t eat at all for so long. She fainted due to starving for so many days. She almost lost all her energy to survive in this world without her husband.
By seeing all the incidents, Lord parameshwara was unable to bear the pain of his beloved devotee Suseendhra. So he dressed himself as a Saint and tried helping suseendhra to get out of that dizziness.
Lord Parameshwara decided to help his follower suseendhra as he knew her pain completely. So, he advised her to go to Ganda madhana parvatha( popularly known as Rameshwaram). And told her to share all the sorrows to his beloved wife Parameshwari who usually visits that place during amavasya period for taking bath in Sethu theertha and she stays near jadamagudha theertha under the tree.
By following the lord Parameswaran’s advice, Suseendhra reached Ganda madhana parvatha during the Amavasya period and waited for Lord Parameshwari. When the goddess appeared, Suseendhra worshipped and explained all her problems. As a solution, Lord Parameshwari poked her divine spear( ‘Vel’ in Tamil) to the ground and created a holy theertha. After taking a bath in this theertha Baby’s fatal disease cured and he became healthy.
Sick people will get relief from any fatal disease when performs a bath in this theertha after praying Lord Parameshwari.
