Vaikundar on Thrown

As soon as Vaikundar attained Vaikundam, he was welcomed by devas and Narayana. Then the ''Kalai Muni'' and the ''Gnana Muni'' who witnessed the activities of Vaikundar by being with him, narrated the events related to him. And then Vaikundar is crowned by Narayana as the king to rule the fourteen worlds. Then as per the command of Narayana both of them carried Vaikundar in a '' 'Ratha' '' around the ''Vaikunda Loga'' with drums and music played. After they brought Vaikundar along with the ''Devas'' and the ''Muni''s in front of Narayana.
Narayana wished Vaikundar and proclaimed that Vaikundar is the supreme of Vaikundam here after. Then he ordered teh Devas to go to Kayilai and engrave in the Mount Meru that,''"As per the holy Agama Vaikundar is going to rule the whole worlds from today onwards."'' Then immedietly Narayana Crowned Vaikundar and gave him the souvereign authority and other divine paraphernalia to Vaikundar. And then Narayana along with Siva and other devas seated him on the thrown.

Plea of Vaikundar

Vaikundar being in the thrown pleaded towards Narayana for the upliftment of his people, The Santror. Narayana replied that they will be saved from the evil of kali and Kali Yuga and will be with absolute bliss and prosperity in the upcomming ''Dharma Yukam''. Until then he asked Vaikundar to be in austirity in the thrown. He also told that, for testing teh faith of the people towards him (Vaikundar), they've to send a 'false deity' to the world which claim itself to the god and could perform many miracles. Afterwards the yuga wil be destroyed and the people will be saved and will be given an eternal life of bliss.

Destruction of Kali Yuga

Vaikundar realised, here in the world, good people are those who suffers most and those who of evil thoughts lead a happy life. So he refers the ''agamas'' to know the time limits of this. He found that since the Yuga is 'Kali' this will only be happen here. So he thought of destroying the Kali yuga. Immedietly Vaikundar think of the destruction, the nature started to react as a destructive medium. The fires burned-out all unwanted things and beings. The whole universe got excited due to this event.
Then Vaikundar think of creating the good things. Immedietly all those good beings such as '' 'good people' '', '' 'good animals' '', '' 'good birds' '', ''good reptiles'', ''good plants'' etc gets originated and activated. And then he ordered the Ocean to wash-out the bad(evil) things immedietly.

Judgement to Kroni

Then Kroni was brought before him and he was remained all the events once again that took place right from his birth. He was also remained the promise once he (as Kaliyan) made that, ''"If myself tends to torture any Pandaram, I and all my means will go to hell"''. Kroni being have nothing to say, surrendered all his powers and boons. The force of illusion took hold of him and put him into the flames of the abuss where the devils resided. Then the evil force along with him went into the hell.
Then Vaikundar blew the Conch Shell announcing the victory. Hearing the sound all that befitted ''Dharma Yukam'' - ''the virtue, the Sastras, the plants and trees, the reptiles and the birds, the divine women and their children'' - all gathered around Vaikundar. He gave them blessing, and instructed them to live fearlessly. He enjoined upon them to assemble in one place, to drink from the same well, and live happily as per the values of Dharma.
