Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Once, Bhattar was explaining the 30th pasuram of
Thiruppavai.
When he came to words "mAdhavanai kEsavanai" in the
pasuram,
he did the following. He showed his mouth when explaining
the
word "mAdhavanai" and acted as if he was going to spit when

he was explaining the word "kEsavanai".

Bhattar explained the Lord's thirunamas thus. As the Lord 
churned the milky ocean, a number of things came out and He
distributed to them to different people. When the poison
came out, He gave it to Shiva. When the nectar came out, He
distributed that to the Devas. When Sri Mahalakshmi came
out,
He kept Her for Himself. When Bhattar explained this, he 
said "The true nectar that came out was Thayar. The Lord
kept Her for Himself and gave the remainder (amrut), which
is
what is left after the essence has been taken out, to the 
Devas ('kaNNudhal nanjchuNNak kaNdavanE, viNNavar amudhuNa
amudhil varum peNNamudhuNda emperumAnE' - Periya Thirumozhi
6-1-2)". 

The name "mAdhava" shows that He is the consort of Thayar.
The name "kEshava" shows that He is the Lord of the Devas.
Therefore, Bhattar showed his mouth when explaining the
name 'mAdhavanai' ('aNNikum amudhURum'), and acted as if to
spit when explaining the name "kEsavanai" ('like we would
do
with the remainder after the essence is extracted').
