As per the Tiruvilaiyadal Puranam, a Pandya King, after performing a great yagna to secure an heir, is astonished to find himself bestowed with a three-year old, three-breasted girl child instead of an infant son he had hoped for. An heavenly voice proclaims that she was his heir. Little Meenakshi grows up to be a powerful warrior and ascends the throne, leading a great army of women, bearing bows, spears and swords to conquer all the worlds. Meenakshi, after defeating Indra and many others, finally comes to Mount Kailash, where she meets her equal in battle – Lord Shiva as Sundareswar. In this battle, she was won over by Lord Shiva and resulted in their marriage. Meenakshi’s third breast fell signifying their union.
