It is said that Kerala was reclaimed from the ocean using his axe for donating to Brahmins after the killing of King Kartavirya Arjuna and other Kshatriyas.[3] He split this land in to 64 villages (64 gramas).

According to legend, after donating the land to Brahmins, one hundred and eight Maha Shiva Lingam and Durga idols were installed in these 64 villages.
