@Jai, Anti-ngaradhum oru vidhathula sari-nudhaan thonudhu. Contrariety is a close relative of Anti. But most common use of virutham is a kind of verse AFAIK (mayil virutham, etc).

விருத்தம் [ viruttam ] , anything circular , a circle , வட்டம் ; 2 . a kind of verse ; 3 . contrariety , வேறுபாடு ; 4 . old age , மூப்பு ; 5 . antiquity , பழமை

//While trying to get the meaning for Virutham, I stumbled upon the word 'viruththa saethanam'. Never knew we had a Tamil word for circumcision //

VK is an MLA of vrudhachalam and the name of the pilim is also another name of this place. The sthala deity of vrudhachalam is "Virudhagireeswarar" and his name is shortened colloquially to "Virudhagiri" in thamizh. Here shiva is set to have assumed the form of an old man to taunt Parvathi who was doing penance.
So Virudha - in this context means old..
