Aartrangarai pillaiyar - This is pudhumaipithan's short story that deals with a pillaiyar idol that is troubled by 2 trees and men who pass by the place.
Pillayar punishes people who try to help him out of his troubles(bird droppings!). Pillayar steals food from a traveller who happens to take rest under the tree. Pillayar does everything what pillayar is not (theoretically) supposed to do !!
When the pillaiyar takes a vishwarupam in the end to relieve himself of the agonies the reader is confused. What was pithan trying to convey through this story ? perhaps sankar could explain.
