Iconography of Ravana, the mythical king of Lanka depicted on the temple walls With the legend of the smiling infant, James Emerson Tennent describes "one of the most graceful" of the Tamil legends connected to the Temple of the Thousand Columns atop Swami Rock. An oracle had declared that over the dominions of one of the kings of the Deccan impended a great peril which could only be averted by the sacrifice of his infant daughter, who was committed to the sea on an ark of sandalwood, eventually reaching the island, south of Trincomalee at a place that in the mid 19th century was still called ’’Pālanakai’’ (smiling infant), current Panagai. After being adopted by the king of the district, she succeeded over his dominions. Meanwhile, the Hindu prince Kullakottan, having ascertained from the Puranas that the rock of Trincomalee was the holy fragment Koneiswara parwatia of the golden mountain of Meru, hurled there during a conflict between gods, arrived at Swami Rock and constructed a temple of Shiva.

Margareta Dockvil played a big role in this conflict, when she complained to the National Board of Trade that the hattstofferare had impended her business by refusing to provide her with materials; she was granted dispensation to have her own workshop established to manufacture and apply ornaments to her hats and sell them, which was until then the privilege of the guild of the hattstofferare. This was a caused for conflict which led the National Board of Trade to summon the two guilds in August of that year. The conflict ended with a reform that allowed the hat makers to manufacture ornaments of hats for their own hats and to sell parts of hats, with reference to the Precedent of Dockvil.
