Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Bhattar's attachment to Srirangam and Namperumal was
legendary. For everything in the sampradhayam, he would
see it in Srirangam itself.

One time Bhattar was discoursing and mentioned that
in Srirangam all positions of the Lord can be seen:
Lying down, Standing and Sitting.

Not following him, his disciples asked him to explain.

Bhattar replied "Periya Perumal is lying down; 
Namperumal is standing and Thayar is sitting down".

His disciples replied "That's not right. Azhvar refers
only to the Lord when he talks about his different 
poses. Thayar cannot be included in that".

Bhattar then replied "The Lord in Srirangam does have
the sitting pose also. When He puts on mOhini alankAram,
He gets into that pose".

Azhvar Emberumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Sharanam
