There are many stories attached to him. Two of them are: 1. When a goddess granted him a boon, he asked for the elephantiasis in his left foot to be transferred to the right (or was it the other way round?) 2. He brought a cow's udder to his brother's feast. His brother's wife being a Brahmin threw out the udder and lied to Narayanath. But then, in the place where the udder was thrown, a kovakka (gherkin?) tree grew. Just some titbits of folkore.
