Thirunyana Sambandar sings the Pathigam which makes the male palm trees bear fruits.
Thirunyana Sambandar is one among the sixty three Nayanmars, who lived during the early fifth to tenth century A.D. Nayanmars were devotees of Lord Shiva and they brought about the revival of Saivism in a period when other religions like Buddhism and Jainism were more wide spread in most parts of India.
In his journey to various temples in the praise of the Lord , Thirunyana Sambandar came to place called Thiruvoththur. In this place lived a devotee who grew palm trees for the Lord. Much to the disappointment of the devotee all the trees were male and did not bear fruits.
When Sambandar came to that place ,the devotee appealed to him with great love and faith .Sambandar sang a pathigam and much to everyone's surprise the male trees started to bear fruits.
