Once it happened that Poonthanam went for Bhagavatha Sapthaham in Kottiyur Shiva Temple. There as usual he started the recite the bhagavatham. After he complete read the 10th chapter where Krishna asks Rukmini why she married a cowherd like him, that part he kept a bookmark Next day, when he started read the holy book found that he had to read the same chapter as yesterday. He thought may be he is wrong and continue to read that part again and complete the chapter and put the book mark in next chapter. But next day is also repeat the same. This repeat for several times. The temple, after 10 days of pooja and festival closes for one year. Till the day of closing, Poonthanam couldn't proceed to another chapter. He had to read the same chapter continuously.
After Pooja along with others Poonthanam also left the temple. After some time he realised that he had not took his holy book from the Temple. When he reached the temple, what he saw was Lord Paramashiva sitting with Poonthaanam's Holy book and reading the same chapter what he was reading for whole time.
After complete reading Lord Shiva asks Devi Parvathi how was his reading, for which devi replies that it was not so good as Poonthanam's reading.
Tears fells down from Poonthanam's eyes. Then Lord reveals that they wanted to bless him for his reading the Bhavavatham, particular chapter.
