Dikshithar composed this krithi at ThiruthaNi. This is the first krithi which was created effortlessly and at the same time with full of philosophical epithets by Dikshithar with the grace
of Lord Muruga. It is said when Dikshithar reached ThiruthaNi an aged person dropped a sugar candy into his mouth as he was meditating on Lord Muruga and this krithi streamed out as his first.The aged person is Lord Muruga, it is said.
