When Manikandan, with the tigers, approached the Palace,
the people who ridiculed him when the started his journey
to forest whether he wanted a toy tigresses, really got panicky
seeing the violent bunch of animals and started running helter
shelter.
Just then, the same Sanyasi who appeared before King Rajasekara
when he picked up Manikandan at the forest as a baby, appeared
again at the palace and told King Rajasekara the real identity
of Manikandan. Hearing this, the King stood in great surprise
and silence. He saw Manikandan riding a tiger and people running
away. Seeing the King, Manikandan descended from the Tiger
and told him that since the tigresses were there, he could
get the Queen cured with their milk. King Rajasekara, fell
at his feet and asked to forgive him for whatever happened
without his knowledge, and asked him to send back the tigers
as the Queens ailment had been cured the moment Manikandan
went to the forest. On that day Manikandan reached the age
of twelve.
King Rajasekara told Manikandan that the Diwan was responsible
for all these things and hence he should be punished. However,
Manikandan told the king that he need not punish the Diwan
and all had happened only through the will of God and he told
further that time had come for him to go to Devaloka since
the task for which he took avatar himself on the Earth is
completed.
