The name ''Tiruvallur'' is supposedly derived from the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] sentence ''tiru evvull?'' – ''Tiru'' meaning ''god'', a common prefix in South India for temple towns, and ''evvull'' meaning ''where do I sleep?''. ''Tiruvallur'' is said to mean a place or town where the god [[Veeraraghava Swamy Temple, Tiruvallur|Veera Raghavaswamy]] asked a saint for a place to sleep for a night..<ref name=Meena>{{cite book|title=Temples in South India|last=V.|first=Meena|publisher=Harikumar Arts|location=Kanniyakumari|year=1974|edition=1st|page=47}}</ref><ref name="auto">{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/steeped-in-history-and-legend/article7282103.ece | title=Steeped in history and legend | newspaper=The Hindu | date=4 June 2015 }}</ref> | |||
The incident is recited in the [[Markandeya Purana]] where, Once a Rishi (sage) named Saalihothirar came down from [[Badrinath]], now in Uttaranchal State, and settled in this place in order to reach [[Vaikuntha|Paramapadam]] (the abode of Lord Mahavisnu). He bathed in ''Hiruthaapanasana Theertham'' and started the vow of silence (mouna viratham) for one year. Daily he collected rice and after a year of fasting, he purified and cooked the rice, offering some to [[Vishnu|God]] (Naivedhyam) and duly kept the rest for himself. He waited for a guest, probably a muni or [[Rishi]], so that he could invite him to eat and end his fasting. | |||
At that time [[Vishnu|Lord Narayana]], intending to test the devotion of the [[Rishi]], came there as an old muni looking very hungry and thirsty. On seeing him, Saalihothirar greeted him and offered a portion of the rice he had kept for himself, but [[Maha Vishnu|Narayana]] wanted the entire quantity of rice. Saalihothirar was very happy to give all of the food to his guest, starving himself. After eating the food, [[Narayana]] asked, "where do I sleep?" (Tamil: Ev-uL-uRangalAm). Saalihothirar asked him to sleep in his own hut.<!-- In Tamil = 'Ev' (எவ்) = which / 'uL' (உள்) = place / room / uRangalAm (உறங்கலாம்) could sleep. Tiru (திரு) is a prefix before name of any holy place. ur ( ஊர்) means a place/village. Therefore, திரு+எவ்+உள்+ஊர் transmute as திருவள்ளூர். -->.<ref name="auto"/> However, there is no historical evidence to back the same, but literature proof can be found in [[Naalayira Divya Prabandham]] at the works of [[Thirumangai Alvar]] in [[Periya Tirumoli]] in Hymn 1058 - 1067, where the Lord Veeraraghava Perumal is addressed as "எவ்வுள் கிடந்தானே" (''Evvull Kidanthane''). | |||

Etymology[edit | edit source]
The name Tiruvallur is supposedly derived from the Tamil sentence tiru evvull? – Tiru meaning god, a common prefix in South India for temple towns, and evvull meaning where do I sleep?. Tiruvallur is said to mean a place or town where the god Veera Raghavaswamy asked a saint for a place to sleep for a night..[3][4]
The incident is recited in the Markandeya Purana where, Once a Rishi (sage) named Saalihothirar came down from Badrinath, now in Uttaranchal State, and settled in this place in order to reach Paramapadam (the abode of Lord Mahavisnu). He bathed in Hiruthaapanasana Theertham and started the vow of silence (mouna viratham) for one year. Daily he collected rice and after a year of fasting, he purified and cooked the rice, offering some to God (Naivedhyam) and duly kept the rest for himself. He waited for a guest, probably a muni or Rishi, so that he could invite him to eat and end his fasting. At that time Lord Narayana, intending to test the devotion of the Rishi, came there as an old muni looking very hungry and thirsty. On seeing him, Saalihothirar greeted him and offered a portion of the rice he had kept for himself, but Narayana wanted the entire quantity of rice. Saalihothirar was very happy to give all of the food to his guest, starving himself. After eating the food, Narayana asked, "where do I sleep?" (Tamil: Ev-uL-uRangalAm). Saalihothirar asked him to sleep in his own hut..[4] However, there is no historical evidence to back the same, but literature proof can be found in Naalayira Divya Prabandham at the works of Thirumangai Alvar in Periya Tirumoli in Hymn 1058 - 1067, where the Lord Veeraraghava Perumal is addressed as "எவ்வுள் கிடந்தானே" (Evvull Kidanthane).
