once there was a brahmin, and though his devotion was great , so was his pride. one morning when cleaning the temple he found meat placed ontop of the shiv lingam in the temple . this , he removed and then made his offerings to lord shiva.

this story is also an HISTORY not only PURANA.

The hunter who gave his eye to lord siva is bhaktha kanappa
and famous temple where lord appeared before kanappa is srikalahasthi..

yes... such a wonderful temple...

more than this, he is the only NAYANMAR touched by lord shiva and called by lord shiva as kannappa... (Actually, his real name is something else)
