It is also believed that Siva performed the Ekadasa Rudra Aswamedha yagnam to rid himself of the blemish of Brahmahati, and Lord Vishnu appeared before him with Sri Devi, Bhu Devi and Nila Devi at the end of the sacrifice. Upon the request of Siva Lord Vishnu took up 11 abodes here in Tiruanangur area - 11 Divya shetrams of Tirumangai Azhwar held in worship by Rudra.
