The soldiers however went inside found that the idol was not there. On hearing the princess fainted and passed away at the temple entrance itself. Only the mortal remains lay prostrate at the temple doorstep, her spirit or soul obviously with the Lord. She thus showed the climax of love towards the idol, which was none else than God himself in visible form. When they to know that the emperor had sent his troops to get the idol back, troupe of songsters carrying the idol of Manavala Perumal thought wise to disperse without going in a batch lest they should be readily recognized.
