(Udayakumaran was killed by Kanchanan. The women staying at Chakravalam heard this news. They kept Manimegalai at one secret spot and told the news to the king in a careful manner. The king, a man of justice, ordered his commander to arrange for the funeral rites of the prince and imprisonment of Manimegalai.) KNEW AND HIDDEN The Sun appeared in the horizon, Driving away the darkness to run. Visitors to the Sambapathi temple, They carried this news to the people. At Chakravalam, the sages also heard. They went to Manimegalai and asked, Whether she knew anything about it? She narrated everything about it. They kept her and the prince, At different secret places, And they went to the palace To tell the king about this news. LONG LIVE THE KING They reached the tall palace gate. They got the permission to meet The king, who received them, And he paid his respects to them. They praised, "Oh King long live. In prosperity let your kingdom live. Let your scepter rule by justice, Let there be everlasting peace." ANCIENT MANY "Oh King, in this town It has become common, For the men of burning lust To harass women, who're chaste." "It's there from ancient time Those men even die for them. After they lose their heart In their crazy love, when lost." FEAR FOR PARASURAMAN The Virgin Goddess Sambapathi once She told, Oh King, Go from this place. And hide yourself in the Podhigai Mountain As Parasuraman will kill you, it's certain." "But King Kaandhan was worried "Who'll save this country, " he queried. For this, he called his son, Sugandhan. To a dancing girl he was born." "Sugandhan was a powerful fighter Though others took him lighter For his birth inferior-in-rank But the king didn't mind his rank." KING SUGANDHAN The King Kaandhan said: "To rule by birth, as you've no right, With you, Parasuraman will never fight Blessed by Sage Aghasthyan until I come You take care of this kingdom." As Sugandhan ruled this kingdom, Sungandhi became its name. For his safety Kaandhan took shelter Under Sage Aghasthyan thereafter." SUGANDHAN'S SONS "A Brahmin woman, Maruthi by name, After her bath in the River Cauvery came. At that time King Sugandhan's son He saw her there coming alone." "You come with me, " he told her. It gave a big shock to her. As there was none near To come and save her." THE SORROW OF MARUTHI "A chaste woman, she felt, Can never enter other's heart, As for the sake of such woman In this world we get the rain." "Having entered another heart, She considered herself unfit To join her husband in holy rites, As she had lost her rights." HER SOBS IN THE GHOST CENTER "With this feeling she went In the Ghost Center to repent, And appealed to the deity there To render proper justice to her." MARUTHI'S MISTAKE The deity spoke: "For a woman her husband is the God. She can't worship any other God. If such a chaste woman calls for rain There'll be a downpour of rain." "But you've lost this claim As your pure devotion to him It's diluted by your other faiths. You give up those wrong faiths." THE OFFENDER WAS DESTROYED "I can punish any offender When he doesn't surrender Within seven days of the crime Till then I can't punish him." "In your case, King Sugandhan With his sword, he'll kill his son, For his unpardonable offence, And thus he'll restore justice." The same thing what the deity told On the seventh day it happened. The king killed his son, Who committed the worst sin." PUBLIC TALKED ABOUT VISAGAI "There was one Dharmadattan A young man of the town, He had his uncle's daughter, Visagai was the name of her." "She loved this young man. Secretly she married this man. The public who heard Ill of her they talked." SHE PRAYED THE STONE DEITY "Visagai prayed to the deity Who took on her pity And confirmed her chastity Before the men of the city." VISAGAI IN THE GIRLS'HOSTEL "The deity vouched my chastity But the people of this city They still doubt my action, So, I need my separation." "In my next birth, let me be his wife I'll join the monastery in this life. To her parents she told this proposal And then she joined the girls' hostel."
