Vishnu was thinking about the deeds of Muruga and from his eyes two tears of joy fell.These two drops transformed into two beautiful women named Soundaravalli and Amuthavalli.They worshiped Lord Vishnu and waited on His command. Vishnu directed them to go to Khandhagiri and meet Muruga. The two women went and met Muruga. On seeing Him they immediately fell in love with Him. His handsome look mesmerized them and they started to shiver. Understanding their plight Muruga asked Soundaravalli to be born as Indra's daughter and Amuthavalli as the daughter of the tribal king Nambirajan.
Fearing Surabhadman, Indra hid His wife Indrani in a bamboo forest. Soundaravalli was born as a baby girl in this forest. Indrani found the baby and fondly started to bring her up. Most of the time the girl was in the care of Indra's elephant with whom the girl played and grew up. She was called Deivayani, one who was brought up by Devas's elephant.
Meanwhile Amuthavalli was born as a baby girl in Vallimalai which belonged to the tribal king Nambirajan. He was a devotee of Shiva and did not have any children. On seeing the baby girl amongst the fields, he thought that Lord Shiva has granted his wish and started to bring up the girl. He named her Valli.
Both the girls were always chanting the names of Lord Muruga as they grew up.
