He later became a disciple of Pattinatthar who first indulged in an argument about "samsari" and "sanyasi" with king Bhartrhari. Later during the conversation "pattinathar" said that all women have 'dual mind' and it might be the true case even with Parameswari. King conveyed this news to Rani Pingalah and she ordered Pattinathar to get punished and to sit in "kalu maram" (tree, whose top portion would be sharpened like a pencil and whole tree is fully coated with oil, a person who is punished to sit in the top will be split into 2 pieces), they tried to kill Pattinathar, but Kalu Maram started burning and nothing happened to Pattinathar, the king came to know this news and went directly to Pattinathar and asked him to get ready to die the next day, but Pattinathar replied, " I'm ready right now, to die". The next day king came with tears in his eyes and released saint from jail because he actually noticed Queen Pingalah in love with horsemen that night, He threw away his empire, wealth, even full coat dress and dressed in a simple "kovanam" (loincloth), the king became a disciple of Pattinatthar and got "mukthi" (salvation) in Kalahasthi temple.
