KumbakONam in Tamil is called Kudamukku. The pot
(Kumbham/Kudam)containing all material for Srishti 
floated on the waters of deluge and stayed put at 
the site of today's KumbakONam and the material inside 
was released here for the creation to go on . It happened 
when the kudam ws hit by the arrow of KumbhEswaran ,
the presiding deity of the famous Siva Temple here.

He is giving darsanam hugging a kudam of Appam.

This is a dance of cowherds , where you skillfully
balance the pots on shour shoulders, head and dance 
without droppong them.This dance takes place at the junction
of streets ( Santhi). Lord KrishNa is the top most
practioner of this art to the utter delight of GopAs
and Gopis. Hence it is called Kudam+aadu+Kootthu. 
It is not a classical dance . Hence it is called 
Kootthu. It is like anothe rfolk dance called 
Karaham.

You wont find th verse  there. It is part of the life history
of Thirumozhisai based on what happened at ThiruvehhA.
It is in AzhwAr charithram and not in prabhandham.That 
waht happened there is true , since there is even today
a village near Kaanchi called Orurikkai ( One night 
stay), where PerumAl stayed with AzhwAr and KaNikaNNan
after he left His temple.
