Being adored by sages and feared by demons Thiru Anbil is also known as Premapuri. It is said that, faith moves mountains and prayers melt hearts ! The Lord of the universe is said to have manifested here as Nambi to Brahma and Valmiki. As the sages implored the Lord to reside eternally at Anbil, the Lord is seen here in Bhujanga shayana facing the east. Sridevi and Bhudevi are seated at His feet doing Tiruvadi kainkarya (Pada seva).<ref name=":0" />

== Dakshina Gaya ==
Thiru Anbil Kshetra sees the three rivers Kaveri, Savitri and Phalguni merge into one. Therefore, this kshetra is also known as Triveni. The confluence of three rivers gives it the name Dakshina Gaya. It is said that those who cannot undertake a trip to Gaya to perform shraddha of their forefathers can do so at this place. This kshetra is believed to yield the same fruit as the Uttara gaya.<ref name=":0" />
