Māṇikyavācakar saw Śiva in person several times. Many wonderful events happened at the Cidambaram temple after the arrival of Māṇikyavācakar there. The King of Laṅkā hearing about the greatness of Māṇikyavācakar brought his dumb daughter to him and she gained the power of speech. The Buddhist saints of Laṅkā came to Māṇikyavācakar and entered into philosophical discourse with him. They became dumb. The king of Laṅkā and his followers became devotees of Śiva.
