From the article about Sri Muthuswamy Dikshithar:
His intense wish of begetting a son having been fulfilled, Ramaswami Dikshitar settled down to perfecting his music with greater enthusiasm. The newborn (Sri Muthuswamy Dikshithar) brought him luck too. Ramaswami Dikshitar was invited to give concerts at prestigious gatherings. The Tanjore king bestowed honors on him as befitting his status and dignity. The honor of organizing and streamlining the playing of Nagaswaram and other musical instruments at the Tiruvarur temple for the daily services, festivals and processions, was given to Ramaswami Dikshitar and he admirably carried out the task. These procedures are being followed even now at the Tiruvarur temple.
It is true that our children give us good luck or better luck. At the very least, once they are with us, our life changes for the better, and there is a much better reason to live!
