Periyava showed karunai not only to his devotees but also all living creatures. Arcot, Poosamalaikuppam-Periayva was camping. At that time, animals like elephants,camels, cows etc. will be part of the Periyava camp. Many animals will be also in the camp of Periayva. At that time, one elephant was tied with chains under a thatched shed. Suddenly the thatched shed caught fire and the elephant which was chained by the mahout wanted to escape from the fire and was pulling the chain vigorously. . After sometime, the elephant got the chain broken and the elephant went to a place some distance from the camp site. The elephant was not seen by the mutt devotees and later it was found and the message came to Sri matam that the elephant was seen 12 kms from the Sri matam camp. Periyava asked the mahout and other devotees to bring the elephant back to Sri Matam. When the devotees and the mahout went near the elephant- some distance away, the elephant was not moved and failed to obey the commands of the mahout. The elephant was in mood of anger with the mahout for not looking after him for more than 12 days. The instructions of the mahout was not obeyed. So this message went to Periayva.
Periyava himself walked the distance of 12 kms from the camp and went near the elephant alone. Periayava touched the trunk of the elephant and the tears from the elephant came as Bagawan has come to see him. The mahout came to the place where the elephant was seen but did not come to him. Many devotees also came but the elephant failed to come. When Periayva went near the elephant, the elephant was silent and walked behind Periayva. Such was the karunai of Periayava with living things and even the elephant which failed to obey the words of mahout reacted only to the actions of Periyava.
Shri Balasubramanian –auditor of Chidambaram- coming in the tradion of U V Swaminatha Iyer-used to chant Chandrasekara esa, Chandraseakara esa . He used to visit Chidambaram temple daily and was chanting regularly chandraseka esa. The temple elephant was standing in one entrance and the elephant was behaving badly with the devotees. The devotees were standing at a distance of 100 metres.. At that time the devotee not knowing about the behavior of the elephant went near the elephant and the elephant got hold of the auditor with his trunk. At that time, the auditor was terrified but later starting changing Chandraseka esa, Chandraseka esa. When the chanting of Chandraseka esa was heard by the elephant, the elephant let down of the devotee from his trunk, knowing that no harm should be done to Periyva devotee.. Thus the chanting of Chandraseka esa saved the life of the devotee as Ganapathi did not want to harm the Periyava devotee. This incident was witnessed by many people standing at a distance of 100 metres. Thus an elephant also listened to the words of Periayva. The devotee did namaksarams to the elephant and walked away to the temple.
