The king cut off sculptor's thumb so he can't dupulcate more. But the stapthi made one more Lord Murugan which is in Ettukudi temple near Tiruvarur. This time the king took his eyes.
But the stapthi made one more beautiful Murugan which is in Ennkann temple with 6 faces and 12 hands holding weapons on a peacock.This time the full structure stands only on the claws of the peacock. Lord Murugan's each finger is craved as distinct fingers with gaps available to decorate with rings. Both Moolavar and urchavar are like this.
The legend goes that when he completed this idol, the sculptor got back his eyes and thumb.
