So for destroying him, what is to be done to kill him? What kind of avatar should I need to come with? Please tell, the uncomparable supreme." Sivan replied, "I can't snatch away the boons which I granded him once." Hearing this, Thirumal get disappointed and think deep in search of any other ways.
