Unlike that incarnation, for the divine wedding between kaNNan and ANdAL, all the celestial entities including indhran, had come. The same indhran, at the hermitage of sage Sarabhanga had said [of SrI rAma] \u201cIt will not be apt for me to show myself to this person who is manifesting himself as a human entity\u201d and left the hermitage, without even standing on the earth, saying \u201cWe shall meet after rAvaNa is annihilated\u201d. Unlike that incarnation, in krishNAvathAram, emperumAn manifested his qualities of both human and ISvara forms; hence celestial entities such as indhran et al, came to earth and were taking care of the wedding arrangements, running hither and thither.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>dhEvar kuzhAm ellAm vandhu irundhu<\/strong> \u2013 the assemblies of celestial entities came in large strength, firmly resting their feet on earth, going beyond their norms.

Thinking that she should carry out the tasks during her brother\u2019s wedding, she decorated ANdAL with a garland which was strung with the most fragrant flowers. Since she was kaNNan\u2019s sister, when she touched ANdAL, she [ANdAL] felt her touch to be second only to kaNNan\u2019s touch.
