This stern woman successfully completed the delivery of the child and held it up so that it did not touch the earth. He had to choose a woman named Periyachi. When the queen went into labour, the king could not find a mid-wife. It was said that if his child touched the earth then this act would bring an end to the earth. There was once a Pandya king named Vallalarajan Rajah who evilly tormented his subjects. She is also regarded as a protector of children and her fierce appearance is said to ward off evil spirits. Periyachi is said to punish women who do and say things to hurt others, and also punishes men who exploit women, by trampling them under her feet.
Periyachi, along with Jada-Muneeswaran, an aspect of Muneeswaran, are said to come on earth as a pair to ward off evil spirits and guard the earth. Periyachi is considered a “kaval deivam” or guardian spirit.
