The man who didn't want to see anything else with the same eyes he had seen the lord.

Thiruppanazhwar was a devotee born in the paanar clan of singers in the city of Urayur (Thirukozhi). He was an ardent devotee of the Lord. Thiruppanazhwar used to sit on the bank of the Cauvery river and sing praises of Ranganathar since he wasn't allowed inside the temple due to his lower caste status.

Once, while deeply immersed in bhakti and singing the Lord's praises, Thiruppanazhwar unintentionally obstructed the path of a Brahmin named Loka Saranga Munivar, who was on his way to the Cauvery for his ritualistic daily bath. Oblivious to the Brahmin's presence, the azhwar continued singing. In frustration, the Brahmin threw a stone at Thiruppanazhwar, causing his forehead to bleed.

Realizing his mistake, Thiruppanazhwar apologized to the Brahmin and stepped aside. After completing his bath, the Brahmin went to see Ranganatha and noticed that the Lord's forehead was also bleeding. This revelation made him realize the gravity of his error, and he sought forgiveness from the Lord.

However, Lord Ranganatha pointed out that the mistake was committed against Thiruppanazhwar, and it was to him that forgiveness should be sought. The Brahmin then carried Thiruppanazhwar on his shoulder and brought him to the sanctum of Ranganatha. There, the mesmerized azhwar sang about Ranga, the aradya deity of Sri Rama, from head to toe in ten paasurams or songs known as "Amalanaadhipiraan."

After singing, Thiruppanazhwar disappeared into the sanctum, merging with the Lord and attaining salvation. Before merging, he expressed that he would no longer see anything else with the eyes he used to see the Lord. This incident reflects the deep devotion and divine connection Thiruppanazhwar had with Lord Ranganatha.
