A small child came and took hold of the sleeping Collector by the hand and quickly dragged him outside. The next moment the roof of the building collapsed with a loud crash. Knowing what had happened, Collector looked back. He saw the child who woke him walking. He called, but as if she didn't hear, the child kept going without turning back. He followed quickly. Before he could reach the child, the child entered the temple and disappeared. He was astonished and overjoyed to realize that Mother Vedambhikai-Vedanayaki herself had come in the form of a child and saved him. He intended to have darshan of Ambika. People of other religions are not allowed to enter the temple, so he made a hole in the outer wall of the Ambal Sannidhi and had fulfilling darshan of Ambal through it. As a mark of gratitude, the Collector gifted Ambika an ivory swing for coming out in midnight and saving him. This incident took place on the 11th day of January 1804.
