The details of the Eesathuvam Siddhi from Srimad Bhagavatam are...
Eesathuvam - ஈசத்துவம்
நின்ற சதாசிவ நாயகி தன்னுடன்
கண்டன பூதப்படை அவை எல்லாம்
கொண்டவை ஓர் ஆண்டு கூடி இருந்திடில்
பண்டை அவ் ஈசன் தத்துவம் ஆகுமே.
With this siddhi, one can obtain the knowledge of creativity and become like Shri Shiva, who is above all of this prapancham / Universe. By worshiping Shri Ishta Siddhi Lingeswarar of this temple at Chitrambakkam, one can obtain the siddhi of Eesathuvam.
