After stopping at the hunter's home in a village, Bhattar enquired about him.

The hunter said "I went into the forest for hunting. There I caught a young rabbit. On the way back, the mother rabbit come to my path and started praying. Therefore, I felt mercy in my heart and left the young with its mother".

Bhattar then told Nanjeeyar "No one taught sharanagati to the rabbit. No one taught the hunter to protect one who surrenders to him. Yet, sharanagati has worked here. Here is another example that it works."
