    36. When MalikKafur invaded South India, news reached the temple authorities in Srirangam that Kafur was planning to plunder the temple. To save the Moolavar idol, they built a brick wall in front of the reclining god. Malik Kafur's army entered the temple and did not realize that the Moolavar was hidden, but they took the Utsavar idol back to Delhi. The princess of Delhi received a golden idol to play with. She became quite attached to it. Apparently, Ramanujar, the Vaishnavite saint, went to retrieve the idol and the princess wouldn't part with it and hence, she followed it back to Srirangam. On their return, the princess’ attachment to the Lord was such that the Vaishnavites accorded her the status of Lord Ranaganatha's consort. How do we know her now?
