Aha! Old Arai Nagar! The capital of the Chola kings! Poombukara and Vaayyur have been made into small hamlets! What about the lofts in the city, the towers, the guardhouses, the shops, the temples and the skylights of Tirumaluk? Vandiyathevan had heard that the musicians in those temples would be ecstatic to hear Devar songs and Tiruvaimozhi pasuras in sweet voices. Is this all he's going to get soon enough to hear them all? Until a few days ago, some fruits that he had never even dreamed of are coming. He was going to meet Parantaka Sundara Chola Maharaja face-to-face, who rivaled Velana in valor and Cupid in beauty. Is that all? He is also going to see his rich daughter, an incomparable lady, Kundavaib Prati.

But there should be no obstacles in the way. What if any obstacles occur? There is work in hand. There is a sword in a scabbard hanging between; There is armor on the chest; There is manure in the chest. But the Mahatanda hero, Prince Adita, has put up a big stumbling block; Not to quarrel with anyone before completing the agreed upon task. Fulfilling that order was very difficult. Something has been accomplished after traveling so far. Only two days of travel left? Until then, you have to be patient.

Vandiyadeva, who was on his way to reach Kadampur before the death of Aadhavan, approached Veera Narayanapura Vinnakara Temple for some time.

As the festival of Aadith Thirumanjana also took place on that day, a large crowd had gathered in the groves around the temple.

Vendors selling jackfruits, bananas, sugarcane and various kinds of snacks had stalls here and there. Some were selling flowers that women put on their heads and lotus buds for deity worship. Some people were putting coconut, young water, akhil, sandalwood, betel, jaggery, aval, fries etc. in heaps. Fun and strange things were going on here and there. There was no shortage of soothsayers, astrologers, soothsayers and poisoners. Vandiyathevan, who was watching all this, noticed that a large crowd was standing somewhere and the sound of some people arguing loudly was coming from within that crowd. He was very curious to know what was being discussed. He couldn't control the urge. He stopped his horse by the side of the road outside the meeting and got down. He signaled the horse to stand still and parted the crowd and entered.

He was surprised to see that there were only three people involved in the discussion. But although there were only three people involved in the debate, many people in the crowd raised slogans from time to time in support of their favorite debater's party. Vandiyathevan came to know that that is why there was so much noise. Then he observed what discussion was taking place.
