Abram>>Abraham>>Ibrahim and சிறுத்தொண்டர்

Having read on Abraham as Christians/Jews(or as followers of Islam calls him as Ibrahim)believe that he was tested by God to sacrifice his son. (There is still a debate on who the son was, as Jews/Christians believe it was Isak while Islamic followers believe it was Ismail.)Anyway important is that both agree that he was tested and he was about to give the 'burnt offer' of his son before he was shown to 'offer' or 'sacrifice' the goat instead.

When reading on சிறுத்தொண்டர்(one in 64 Nayanmar) his only son by his own hands with the help of his wife to please a சிவனடியார் (Sivan came disguised as Sivanadiyar). I begin to wonder if the people of தமிழ் who remembers Ibrahim's test ever knew or heard of சிறுத்தொண்டர் life or his test? Tamils have heard and want to remember what a great sacrifice Abraham or Ibrahim or Abram wanted to offer or his test by God, but do they know on சிறுத்தொண்டர் or how many Tamils knows life and message of சிறுத்தொண்டர் ?

This சிறுத்தொண்டர் was not an ordinary man. Before doing this சிறுத்தொண்டர் of feeding a meal to a சிவனடியார் , he was the commander in chief of the king and had won many battlefields. It was such an act of winning victories, which made King to offer whatever his commander in chief desires and he let him go and lead spiritual life by doing service to சிவனடியார் .

Anyone who reads these lives of Abraham(his earlier name was Abram and Azar his father was an idol maker) and that of சிறுத்தொண்டர் would see the similarities of the test that both went through at different times at different places. Whats more important is that they both succeeded in their tests by GOD.
