  O   on coming to know about this,Brahma told Suka "Oh Sage, you were born to Thilothamai who had the features of parrot and so you were named as Suka. Since you are having the quality of repeating what you have heard like a parrot,I curse to be parrot itself".Immediatly,the Sage got converted into a parrot and so he prayed to Brahma as to when he would get relief from this curse.The Lord told him that he should go to Papanasampathi and worship the Swayabu Linga there and his cuse would be cleared.Thesage with the figure of a beautiful parrot became the leader(king) of parrots and was living in thejack fruit tree at Papanasampatti.By virtue of its preveious life as a Sage, it was uttering the name of Siva and extolling the divine powers. It was collecting fruits,grains and vegetables from various places.Seeing this activity,a hunter named Vachirakanthan began chasing away the parrots by shooting pellets at them. So, the parrots went and hid themselves in a mound of mud there. The hunter,seeing this,began cutting open the mound  using a spade. Many parrots died there with divine thoughts.Incidentally,there was a small Siva Linga in the mound and the King parrot wanted to protect the Linga from being broken by the hunter's spade and so it spread its wings over the Siva Linga giving a cover for it. When the hunter hit the parrot with the spade,it also died and the sharp edge of the spade hit the Linga figure also and immediatly blood oozed out of it.The hunter felt very sad on finding out what has happened and repented for his folly.Unable to withstand the mental agony, he killed himself with his axe and attained heavenly abode.The parrots all reached Kailayam(Heaven) after their death.
