By Myths

As per the Siva Puranam (Thiru Vilaiyadal - Thakshan)[2], Lord Siva married Thakshan daughter Sakthi(Thakshayini). Thakshan planned to do a Yagna without inviting Lord Shiva (Son in Law). Lord Siva found it as an insult and refused Sakthi not to attend that Yagna. Sakthi Quarreled with Siva and came to Thakshanoor Kingdom. She met her father and asked him to invite his husband Siva. Thakshan refused her obligation. So Sakthi cursed him and demolished the Yagna and fell in to the yaga kunda and immolished her body.After that Lord Siva Quarrelled and convinced her by offering half part of his body (i.e. Artha Nareswar) to teach the man and woman equality to this world.
