Once upon a time in the ancient period Ashurargal like Tharagan destroyed the whole world. So Lord Indhiran thought to control or kill them with the help of Agni Deva and Vayu Deva gods. Agni came to the world. By seeing the Devas, Ashuras went inside the sea, Agni Deva thought that they died. But Ashuras came back and again they continued to destroy the world. By seeing this, Lord Indiran was angry with Agni Deva and told him to suck the sea and kill them. But Agni Deva told , "if I do this, whole universe will be disturbed. That karmic debit will be on me" and he refused. So Lord Indiran gave him a curse. "you refused my words so you will have a birth in the world as Kumbam (Acquiries) and you will have to drink the sea water."

In the other side, Lord Vishnu had a birth as Dharuman and in certain age, he started Chant. To spoil his chant Lord Indhiran had sent Apsaras. Although Dharuman did not infatuate on them. So that he created a beauty queen, named as Urvasi from his thigh. Urvasi married a person named Mithiran. In this situation, seeing the beauty of Urvashi, Varunan was in infatuation and he loved her, he expressed his love to Urvasi. But Urvashi had already married. So she refused the love of Varunan. But Varunan requested her that “if you don’t expect my love, just think about me, when you are having sexual interaction with Mithiran. That will be enough to me” he said. But without knowing about future Urvasi accepted Varunan's request.

Lord Shiva & Parvathi had a argument about the other birth for the human beings according to the karmic debit & credit. For that, they chose Agathiyar and asked him to have research about it and to write about life and birth. He made research about human life and wrote in the palm leaf about their birth according to their karmic debt. To identify one's leaf he classified the thumb impression as 108 names and he separated it like a top, middle and low by certain lines.

When he was in the research of human life in the south he had seen many Rishi are in the tree upside down. Seeing this Agathiyar questioned them, they said our family-wise named person Agathiyar had not entered into family life and he is having a karmic debt so that our soul hadn’t got Moksham(Heaven). By thinking of the above, Agathiyar went to Vidharpa country and married Uloba Muthirai, who she was born by the Yagam (prayer for Lord Agni)of that king. By that, he rectified his karmic debt and his ancestors got moksha.
