You remove the distress of your creations which do not even have the desire to see you and protect them. However, you are giving us distress when we are infatuated with you, after seeing you. How is this apt? After they said \u201c<em>unnaikkaNdu mAluRuvOngaLai<\/em>\u201d revealing their affection which they have for him, he too glanced at them, manifesting his affection for them.

After separating from you, we became weaker still and did not have even the strength to wear bangles in our hands. Still, since these bangles were touched by you [at an earlier point of time], not having the mind to remove them, we went through all the distress, with the bangles. Even after they said all this, he was focussed on destroying their toy houses.

Aren\u2019t they fit to be accepted and not destroyed? Instead of destroying our toy houses, it would be better for you to go to milky ocean and protect your toy-house, this world.
