But when he circumbulates only shiva then he is insulting parvathy.
There is another shiv bhakth and murugan bhakth who is called Avvayyar.
She to does not feel the need to include shakthi in her devotion.
Shakthi decides to show the importance of worshiping both together.
A storm brews and avvayyar does not find food and water for days.
She finds her self taking shelter in a devi temple.
She calls out to shiva to help.
Shakthi disguises herself and sits next to her and tells see over there a tree appears, why dont you go and take sum fruits from the tree?
In reply avvai says,, but I dont have any shakthi in me to walk to the tree.
What asks parvathy. what did u say
Avaii repeats I dont have any shakthi..
Parvathy once again asks what did u say
Avaai again repeats I dont have any ...
She stops mid sentence.
Realization dawns.
She runs into temple hands raised.
Forgive oh shakthi. i was ignorant.
Parvathy appears before her and blesses her
