in Thiruviruththam (pasuram 83) to his disciple Nanjeeyar.

 

In this pasuram, Nammazhvar as Parankusa Nayaki hears thesound of the Anril birds and faints. Seeing that, her mother wonders when her daughter would have her wish fulfilled and be happy again.

 

Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar "Is there any event in Sri Ramayanamthat matches to this?"

 

Bhattar replied "Due to Sri Rama's command, Lakshmana tookSita to the forest and left Her there. In the forest when Valmiki maharishi saw Her crying, it can be said that heattained the same state as that of Parankusa Nayaki's mother".
