Years later, Chundara pays a visit to his friend in Makotai and stays in the city as a guest of his fellow-devotee. One day messengers from Shiva arrive in Tiruvanchikkulam inform Chundara that it was now time for him to return to Mount Kailasa. Chundara ascents to Kailasa on a white elephant sent by Shiva (with the Chera king following him on horseback).
