the "thiruvilaiyadal puranam" relates an incident involving nakkeerar's confrontation with shiva. once the pandiyan king had a doubt as to whether the scent from a woman's hair was natural or artificial. he announced a prize of 1000 gold coins for anyone to resolve his doubt. a poor poet named tharumi prayed to lord shiva to let him get the award. the lord, who appeared in the form of a tamil scholar, wrote a poem for tharumi and asked him to take it to the king. when this poem was read in the court, poet nakkeerar found fault with it and stopped the pandiyan king from giving the prize. when poet nakkeerar learnt that it was someone else who wrote the poem, he accused tharumi of plagiarism. tharumi's grief grew and he again appealed to the lord. he said he was not worried for not receiving the prize but he could not bear anyone finding fault with the lord's poems. thereupon, shiva himself came to the court as iraiyanar and challenged nakkeerar. but nakkeerar was not moved. though shiva asked him if the hair of ganapoongodai, the consort of kalathinathar, whom nakkeerar worshipped, did not have a natural scent, nakkeerar asserted that it was so. shiva told that because of nakkeerar's foolishness he had done so (since parvathy is the other part of the supreme god who dwells in everything including flowers, so it is understood that she can possess fragrance as well as other attributes of the universe) and opened the eye in his forehead (netrikkan) which emitted fire and looked at nakkeerar to show the poet who he was. even then, nakkeerar persisted in his statement, saying "though you show us your frontal eye, a fault is a fault". as he could not bear the scorching heat emanating from the divine eye he jumped into the water of the golden lotus tank. then at the request of the other poets, the lord took nakkeerar out of the tank, forgave him and made him study under 'agasthiar', the tamil sage. shiva said that there were mistakes in nakkeerar's poetry. he asked nakkeerar to correct his tamil grammatical mistakes and misplaced words before writing poems again.

the most popular story about the birth of baba balak nath as 'sidh-purush' is associated with the amar katha of lord shiva. it is said that lord shiva was sharing the amar katha with goddess parvati in the cave of amarnath, and goddess parvati fell asleep. a kid-parrot was there in the cave and he was listening the entire story and was making noise of 'yes' ("hmm.."). when the story finished, lord shiva found goddess parwati sleeping and so he understood that someone else had heard the story. he became very angry and threw his trishul on the kid-parrot. the kid-parrot escaped from there to save his life and trishul followed him. in the way, the wife of rishi vyasa was yawning. the kid-parrot entered her stomach through her mouth. the trishul stopped, as it was unreligious to kill a lady. when lord shiva knew all this he also came there and narrated his problem to rishi vyas. rishi vyas told him that he should wait there and as the kid-parrot would come out, he could kill him. lord shiva stood there for a very long time but the kid-parrot did not come out. as lord shiva stood there, the whole universe got disordered. then all the lords met sage narada and requested him to request lord shiva to save the world. then narada came to lord shiva and prayed him to leave his anger as the child had already heard the amar katha.and so now he had become immortal and now nobody could kill him. listening to this, lord shiva told the kid-parrot to come out and in return the kid-parrot demanded a blessing from him. lord shiva accepted that and the kid-parrot prayed that as he comes out as a man, any other child who gets birth at the same time would be granted all kind of knowledge and would be immortal. as lord shiva accepted this, a divine baby come out from the mouth of rishi vyas. he prayed lord shiva and got his blessings. this divine baby was called sukhdev muni later. the other babies who got birth at that time were famous as navnatha and eighty-four siddhas ("chaurasi sidh"). one of them was baba balak nath.
