One Vaṭṭoli Menon became Mātu’s paramour by bribing her with a golden chain worth three thousand paṇams, and she got her husband killed by this paramour. Candu had two dogs called Malli and Cokkan, and one of them kept guard over Candu’s dead body while the other went and informed Kelu about Candu’s death. Kelu, in great rage, rushed to the place, saw the golden chain presented to Mātu by Menon and blinded one of her eyes.
