Devan requested his captors that he be given time to worship God as his last wish because he was a Siddhar (Saint-king) who most of the time was in meditation. The temple he worshiped had no deity or idol most of the time he meditated in the open air he is a descendant of the Rishi or Siddhar who meditated on the Nilgiri Hills who worshiped three times a day,even during their busy schedule. Since Devan had requested that he be allotted time to worship before execution he was directed to a shrine in Shankarankoil and there he worshiped God and sang praises to Almighty God before his execution in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple and suddenly there was a sound of the chains fall as he was bound in fetters and chain,hearing the sound the guards rushed into the sanctum sanctorum and to their astonishment they found only the chains, Devan was not to be found and was never seen thereafter by anyone anywhere.
