Amma and Appa mean Mother and Father and when the Mother and Father of the Universe were called they could not resist showering their grace on the boy. Appa” in anguish and Lord Shiva who was doing his celestial rounds with his consort Parvati heard this cry and decided to shower his grace on the little child for he had called them. This happened again and again and when once Sivapadahrudaya decided to hold his breath longer under the water young Sambandan panicked as he could not see his father. The father would dip his head and all in the pond and reappear again. Young Sambandan nodded his head and was watching his father go into the pond. He left Sambandan on the banks and told him to be there until he returned after his holy dip. When they reached the temple, Sivapadahrudaya wanted to take a dip in the holy pond of the temple, Brahma Teertham. The father was reluctant to say ‘no’ to Sambandan and took him along. One day when his father was going to the temple as usual, little Sambandan who was three years now, was adamant that he would go with his father. Sambandan was a normal bubbly child as any child would be and was very attached to his father. In course of time Bhagavathi Ammal gave birth to a boy baby who was named Sambandan.
