The thillai (chidambaram) brahmins follow the dharma as taught by the vedas and perform various
yagnas maintaining the stipulated fires. They help the world by destroying poverty and other evils by
following such dharma. Siva, the primal Lord wearing the young bright crescent moon, dwells in the
citRambalam temple. All those who hold His feet in their heart will be rid of their sins.
