She was at a loss and prayed to Lord Shiva(Sivakumar) Suddenly, a mango appeared in her hands. She served the mango to her husband, who found it divine delicious compared to the previous one and asked her now she got the second fruit. He realised that his wife was no ordinary women but a divine person and began to call her "Ammaiyar"
