It is only when no other method of treatment could cure them that the Lord
destroyed them in His Infinite kindness" (they all reached parama padam as a
result of having His darSanam!).
Another dimension of bhagavAn's forbearance is His willingness to forgive the
sins of His devotees also

teshAm varaH uttama iti kshamiNAm varaH

(SrI kRshNa datta bhAradvAj)
One is reminded of the extent of sufferings that He subjected Himself to,
during His rAma incarnation. The whole rAmAyaNa is a demonstration of His
being kshamiNAm varaH, along with pirATTi, who is in all respects equal to
Him. The incident of Sage bhRgu kicking bhagavAn in His vaksha sthalam, and
the composed reaction of bhagavAn to this incident, is another example of His
most superior kshamA or endurance and forbearance.
SrI baladeva vidyAbhUshaN gives another example from Lord kRshNa's
incarnation: - the magnanimity with which bhagavAn forgave Sage durvAsa for
his ignoble act of harassing the pANDava-s on behalf of duryodhana during the
vana vAsam of the pANDava-s. The kAkAsura incident, and sItA pirATTis'
kind act of laying the evil asura such that his head was facing Lord rAma's
Feet so that Lord rAma will forgive the asura, and bhagavAn's forgiving the
asrua by just punishing him very mildly instead of killing him as he justly
deserved, is an example that shows both bhagavAn and pirATTi rival each
other in their kshamA, or willingness to forgive and put up with aparAdha-s of
their children. nammAzhvAr repeatedly reminds us that none in all the
Universes - not even the catur-mukha brahmA who is gifted with superior
knowledge by bhagavAn Himself, will be able to describe bhagavAn's kalyANa
guNa-s and do justice to even one of His guNa-s. We are seeing that His guNa
as 'kshamiNAm varaH' is just one example of the inability to describe the
guNa - we just have to feel His guNa-s and enjoy them.
