Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Some Srivaishnavas came to Bhattar and told him that
"thondanUr nambi thiruvadich sArndhAr" - that is,
Thoondanur Nambi had reached the Lord's divine
feet.

Bhattar replied "Thondaur Nambi had great devotion 
to bhAgavatas and performed all kinds of services to
Srivaishnavas. Respecting that, we should be saying 
'thirunAttukku nadandhAr' - that is, he has reached
the Lord's divine abode".

Here, Bhattar is emphasizing that the Lord's divine
abode is great because that is where all His devotees 
are present. And, that it is appropriate to say that 
one who spent his lifetime in the service of 
bhAgavatas went to the place which is filled with
His devotees.

A similar incident is recorded at another place.

Some devotees told Bhattar "nambi ERu thiruvudaiyAn
dAsar thirunAttuku nadandhAr".

Bhattar replied "Nambi performed great service to
Srivaishnavas. To respect that, we should be saying
'thirunAttukku ezhundharuLinAr'".

That is, when talking about the Lord's devotees, the
most respectful terms should be used.
