Kovalan feels Matavi is unfaithful to him, and leaves her. Each interprets the song as a message to the other. Matavi then sings a song about a man who betrayed his lover. During the festival for Indra, the rain god, there is a singing competition. He falls for her, leaves Kannaki and moves in with Matavi. Kannaki and Kovalan are a newly married couple, in love, and living in bliss. Vedic rituals are performed and stories from the Puranas are told, while temples of the Jains and their charitable institutions can be seen about the city. The festivities begin at the temple of the white elephant and they continue in the temples of Unborn Shiva, of Murugan, of nacre white Valliyon brother of Krishna, of dark Vishnu called Nediyon, and of Indra himself with his string of pearls and his victorious parasol. For the first time I have failed to protect my people. When he saw it the parasol fell from his head and the sceptre trembled in his hand.
