Even after removing the elephant\u2019s sorrow, emperumAn felt distressed in his divine mind, saying \u201cI did not come earlier to remove his distress. Would my rendering help, after he fell into distress, really count as a remedy?\u201d She tells him \u201cIn an earlier time, did you not come down hastily to remove the distress of an elephant after the elephant was harassed by a crocodile, merely because the elephant had taken refuge under you, not even considering that the crocodile was a mere water-worm?

Should you not come with our dresses and help us when two worms are biting us {carp and scabbard fishes]? Hearing this, kaNNan said \u201cWe removed that suffering since it was caused by someone else.

You will have to suffer, at their hands, many times more than our suffering at your hands. Hearing this, he says \u201cIs that all? Let it happen that way. But, I will not give your dresses\u201d. He dons one sari on his waist, one he ties on his head, one he wears as an upper cloth, adding colours to his dark divine form. He keeps the remaining dresses on the <em>kurundham<\/em> tree and tells them \u201cSee, how beautiful these dresses are on my form?
