Lord Murugar is always identified with His own special fight for Maangani(Mango) with His beloved brother Lord Ganesha.
All the incidents are preplanned for people’s welfare in every avatar’s Life.
This incident is not an exception,Lord Murugar got angry and came to Thiruaavinankudi(3rd padai veedu) and stood with a Loin cloth alone (symbolizing every thing is temporary in this Maaya loga (world)).Then the mountain itself convinced Murugar as ‘Pazham nee’ – Your yourself a fruit and added you need not require any.This “Pazham nee” came into existence as palani or pazhani hence thiruvaavinankudi is now pazhani.
Simultaneous Sage Agasthiyar has sent his asura disciple ‘Idumban’ to fetch Sivagiri and Sakthigiri.As an implicit disciple idumban tied both the mountains to a thick stick and was on the way to his master’s place.He rested for some time,but Murugar came and stood in Sivagiri.It was not possible even for Idumban(such an enormous asura)to lift the hills again.He examined the reason and found a small boy as the obstacle.
Then they broke into a fight.
Result : “Vetri veluke anri evaruku”
Murugar had killed idumban and won over him.
But the implicit obedience and respect idumban had for his guru made Murugar to bless him the life back.
Murugar blessed idumban,”Any devotee carrying a kavadi (milk,curd,sandal,flower,grains,fruits,etc) like you and surrendering to Me with Faith will have all his wishes fulfilled”
In addition idumban got a high reward of residing in pazhani malai and devotees should pay their obeisances to idumban and then climb up to complete their prayers to the Lord.

“Yaamirukka bayam yen” in tamil.
2.Lord Murugar has a name Sengalvaraayan and Baba is identifed as Sengal Siddhar (as he used to keep a pair of bricks with Him till his samadhi)
