Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
After the Bhattar twins were born, Kooratthazhvan,
waiting on his acharya Ramanuja, did not do anything
for them such as naming them.
On the 11th day, Ramanuja, delighted that his dear
disciple had children due to the blessing of Lord
Ranganatha, came to Koortthazhvan's home with his
disciples.
Once there, he asked Embar to bring the children
to him. As Embar brought the babies to Ramanuja,
he kept blessing them by reciting the Dvaya mahA
mantra in their ears.
As Ramanuja received the babies in his divine hands,
he saw with surprise that they were shining with
divinity and asked Embar "I see the fragrance of
Dvayam with these babies. How is that?" Embar
replied "I was reciting the Dvaya mantra in their
ears as protection for them as I brought them to
you".
Ramanuja then said to Embar "Since you recited
the great mantra in their ears for their protection,
you will be their acharya".
Then Ramanuja named the children "Parasara Bhattar"
for Parasara Bhagavan and "Veda Vyasa Bhattar" for
Veda Vyasa. This completed one of his vows made to
Alavandar.
