When they returned home they heard the sounds of a tiger roar and a cock crow, but could not find the tiger or the cock. They only found a stone cock. Later, when the friends went to the forest to hunt &#8211; the Ka\u1e0dyama\u1e0da ancestor with his bow and arrow, and his friend with his hunting dogs &#8211; they found Botekara Ayyappa and established him here. He was called Ka\u1e0dlayyappa because his shrine was inside a thick forest.<\/p>\n<p>This was a rich <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/okka\/\">okka<\/a> that periodically took rice on bullocks (eth por) to Malabar and traded it for oil, chillies, gold etc.<\/p>\n<p>They became pa\u1ecaeyagaras in the late 16th Century and defeated Nanjun\u1e0darasa of Mysore who waged war on them on two occasions. Nanjun\u1e0darasa vowed to Ka\u1e0dlayyappa that if he won the war the next time, he would offer the god seven moras (bamboo winnowing fans) filled with gold sovereigns. When Nanjun\u1e0darasa attacked them the third time, their ancestor Appayya went to Ka\u1e0dlayyappa (to the thaere possessed by the god) to consult him, as he always did &#8211; but the god said nothing. Angered and disappointed, their ancestor cursed Ka\u1e0dlayyappa saying \u201cInd pareyatha n\u0101vu endoo pareyathira\u1e0d\u201d (let the tongue that speaks not today remain speechless forever). Even today K\u0101\u1e0dlayyappa there does not talk.<\/p>\n<p>In the 17th century AD, Nanjun\u1e0darasa of Mysore attacked the <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/mane-pedha\/\">Ka\u1e0dyama\u1e0da<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/okka\/\">okka<\/a> for the third time with an army of 10,000, armed with information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/mane-pedha\/\">Ka\u1e0dyama\u1e0da<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/okka\/\">okka\u2019s<\/a> war strategies, given to them by mischief-makers from the <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/mane-pedha\/\">Apattira<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/okka\/\">okka<\/a> and Ba\u1ecaajira okkas.

All the young men in the<a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/okka\/\"> okka<\/a> were killed in the war, and only women and children were left. Not wanting them to be captured by the enemy, Appayya set fire to their thatched <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/mund-mane\/\">mund mane<\/a> with all of them inside it and jumped into the fire himself. Only Ammavva, of this <a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/okka\/\">okka<\/a>, who was pregnant at the time and had gone to her thamane (<a href=\"https:\/\/kodavaclan.com\/kodaguheritage\/mane-pedha\/\">Achikan\u1e0da<\/a>) was saved.
