Once a god appeared before him and asked him to give up his vows while he was observing pausadha. When Cullasayaa did not act accordingly, the god killed all his sons before him. He was not prepared even then, to abandon his vows. The god, then, threatened him to deprive of all his wealth. Enraged by this foolish step he at once stood up to catch hold of the god. But the god was no longer there. He had to expiate for this faultly action. After death he took birth as a god in the first celestial region.
